Temple Grandin Biography

The most accomplished and well-known autistic adult in the world is Temple Grandin, Ph.D. The HBO feature film Temple Grandin, starring Claire Danes, chronicles her exciting life and its difficulties and triumphs. Speaking about her experiences, Dr. Grandin encourages and inspires audiences. She could not talk until she was three and a half years old; instead, she expressed her annoyance by yelling, peeping, and humming. She was given an autism diagnosis in 1950, and her parents were advised that she should be hospitalized. In her book Emergence: Labeled Autistic, she describes "groping her way from the far side of darkness." This book stunned the world because, up until its publication, most professionals and parents believed that an autism diagnosis was essentially a death sentence for productivity or achievement in life. Despite being labeled "strange" in her early school years, she finally found a mentor who understood her passions and skills. Later, Dr. Grandin turned her talents into a lucrative profession as one of the very few designers of cattle handling equipment in the world. She has now created the buildings where half of the cattle in the United States are born, working as a consultant for companies like Burger King, McDonald's, Swift, and others. Dr. Temple Grandin presently teaches animal science at Colorado State University and gives speeches about autism and cattle handling worldwide.
