| Synopsis A firsthand account of autism. Temple Grandin, a woman whose gift for animal empathy led to her design a cruelty-free livestock holding pen, and whose observations of cattle led her to create a "squeeze machine" to offset some of the sensory disturbances she experiences, articulates what it is to live within the confines of her neurological condition. She shares her insights into genius, savants, sensory phenomena, and animal behavior.
Publisher's Note In this unprecedented book, Temple Grandin, a gifted animal scientist who is also autistic, delivers a report on autism, written from her unique perspective. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who bridged the gulf between her condition and our own, shedding light on the riddle of our common identity. of photos. Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person. She tells us how she managed to breach the boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition and our own while shedding light on our common identity."There are innumerable astounding facets to this remarkable book...Displaying uncanny powers of observation...[Temple Grandin] charts the differences between her life and the lives of those who think in words."--Philadelphia Inquirer Industry Reviews Voice Literary Supplement - Stacey D'erasmo (11/19/1995) D'erasmo Angelou | See an error?
