Your child will meet:
- Autistic people vary widely, and one person's sensory or thinking experience should not be treated as universal.

- An engineering design can be revised to reduce fear, injury, or unnecessary disturbance during livestock handling.
- Scientific careers combine technical knowledge with communication, persistence, and institutional change.

Parent effort: Quick discussion
When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew she was different. Years later she was diagnosed with autism. Temple's doctor recommended institutionalizing her, but her mother believed in her. Temple went to school instead. Today, Dr. Temple Grandin, a scientist and professor of animal science at Colorado State University, is an autism advocate and her world-changing career revolutionized the livestock industry. This compelling biography and Temple's personal photos take us inside her extraordinary mind and open the door to a broader understanding of autism.
