When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew that she was different. It wasn't until years later that she was diagnosed with autism, a brain disorder that makes communication difficult. Today, Dr. Temple Grandin is a brilliant scientist and professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Her world-changing career has revolutionized the livestock industry-each year, half the cattle in the United States are handled in cruelty-free facilities she has designed. She is also a passionate advocate for autism, using her experience to prove that people with this disorder can have "normal" lives. To achieve this unprecedented success, Temple used a unique ability: she thinks visually, the same way animals do. Because she thinks in pictures, she can see the world as a cow or a dog or a pig might see it. And so she knows that animals raised for food deserve good lives and should be treated with respect. Now she gives them their voices.… (mer)

Wonderful source of information on a person who has never let her disability stand in her way, explains to the reader about autism itself in a clear and understanding way, photographs from all throughout her life, covers period from infant age up until her adult life, best for grades 3-4 and up in my opinion

A story written for Young Adults (simpler, shorter than a full biography), this is easy to read, but also interesting. What a wonderful thing that there is someone like Temple Grandin who is willing to have even the painful details of her life written about so that others may learn about autism and hopefully gain understanding.

The author spent as much time or more telling about Grandin's successes as they did about her autism. The book is full of photos and illustrations which enhance the telling. A very inspiring subject and life story. ( )

In collaboration with Sy Montgomery, Temple Grandin tells her story of growing up with autism. Beginning in childhood, Grandin's father thought she should be sent away. Her mother's conviction refused to give up, keeping her at home and in school. The biography includes Grandin’s perseverance, passion, and unique way of seeing the world all of which she ultimately used to earn her doctorate, teach at Colorado State University, and revolutionize the cattle industry.

Supported by photographs, blueprints, and drawings, it is a highly accessible biography. It chronicles not only passion and work of Grandin but also clearly explains autism and its impact.

RGG: Clear, approachable and two-fold engagement for readers interested in animal science and/or the behaviors, feelings associated with being on the autism spectrum. Excellent nonfiction. Reading Interest: 10-14.

Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed the World
by Sy Montgomery
What an inspirational book! I guess I am behind the times in not knowing who Temple Grandin is. She went from being unable to speak, even up to age 4, to becoming a internationally known scientist for the welfare of animals! She now makes ingenious designs for animals that are penned up, bred, or those to be slaughtered. She lead the way for humane and quick deaths.
I may be a vegetarian but 95% of the world is not. Temple tried to be but her health deteriorated so she went back to eating meat. She wanted to make sure all animals that are confined and treated fairly and deserve a quick and calm death.
For this, I thank her from the bottom of my heart! She is really a miraculous woman to overcome her issues and pain and concentrates on those that can't help themselves!
Recommend to all animal lovers and to anyone who know someone with autism. ( )
