Summary: She lived in a world like no other...
She longed for affection but feared human contact. Unable to experience reality as other children could, Temple Grandin was quick to anger, easily overstimulated, and isolated. Facing ceaseless waves of terrifying nerve attacks, she was a child heading into a dark abyss of autism. But within her lonely world, Temple's creativity, intelligence, and yearning for emergence refused to die.
Now Temple tells the ...show morestory of that Emergence, of how she went from a fear-gripped, autistic childhood to become a successful professional, a world leader in her field.
