My sister bought me one of Temple Grandin’s books after my son was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome (a mild form of autism). The book “Emergence” is pretty much a biography of this amazing woman’s life as an autistic child, non-verbal until age 4, as she struggles through her youth and slowly learns to overcome her deficits to reach her dreams. The movie made for HBO, is a pretty accurate portrayal (according to Dr Grandin herself) of her life’s journey. I had the tremendous privilege of watching the movie premiere in Ft. Collins, where Dr. Grandin herself was present and answered a few questions afterwards. She is such and inspiration to families of autistic children!
