Temple Grandin on ‘The Autistic Brain’

The Takeaway

Back in 1947, when Temple Grandin was first born, autism had just been named as a neurological disorder. Sixty plus years later, autism is a household world, thanks in part to her work.
Grandin was diagnosed with autism at age three, and went on to become America’s most well-known autism activist, as well as a doctor of animal science, a professor at Colorado State University, and a bestselling author.
Her newest book, in stores tomorrow, is called, “The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum.”
