Temple Grandin is a noted animal expert and advocate for autistic populations who has penned the books Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human. Temple was born August 29,1947 in Boston MA. Grandin was diagnosed with autism, considered a form of brain damage at the time. Temple Grandin would have a friendship with everyone she would meet. Grandin has cited her lack of interest in emotional issues and relationships, including fictional representations of interpersonal relationships. She is unmarried and has no children.
She earned a degree in psychology from Franklin Pierce College in 1970, followed by a master's degree in animal science from Arizona State University and a doctoral degree in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Temple believes that when one door closes, another opens. They embraced her idea, and her life's work has begun: she had help in scientifically evaluating cattle chute designs on animal behavior for the goal of achieving the ethical treatment of animals. Temple uses the squeeze machine to calm down what was also used for the animals when they needed it. They think alike, in pictures, and therefore understand each other without words. As a child, she developed language many years after other kids, and felt baffled by the barrage of words people spoke, just as animals must. She invented the "hug box", a device to calm those on the autism spectrum. Grandin became nationally known after appearing in Oliver Sacks's 1995 book, An Anthropologist on Mars, the title of which is derived from Grandin's description of how she feels in social settings.
Seeing temple kind of struggle and go through what shes doing is something very different and unique for a person like her. She saw everything just like i would do the same. Being in her shoes would be a opportunity for me because i would think and act differently then everyone else even though at times I would get criticized for who i was. She believed that when one door closes another opens. Saying that when she lost an opportunity she was able to still move on and do what she wanted.
