I was really amazed how Dr. Temple Grandin grew up through this book. First time I saw her presentation on autism/Asperger’s(a/A) over the net, I doubted she still has a/A because she spoke so confidently. I could see she has overcome some of the autistic traits she used to have in her childhood and teens. This is, I would say, mainly because her mother and her mentors supported her in order to help her acquire her social skills like Temple said in this book. I began to understand why she became so confident when reading Lorna King’s message to Temple on p.147. In short, she wasn’t an impressive speaker right from the start. It sounds real wordy or verbose, but those who understand Temple see carefully how she has changed better.
