Emergence : labeled autistic

Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism at the age of three.

An intelligent child with a thirst for knowledge, but unable to properly express herself or control her behaviour, Temple struggled through grade school.

Eventually moved from a "normal" school to an educational program for autistic children, she began to suffer "nerve attacks." Now Temple tells the story of how she went from a fear-gripped, autistic child to a successful professional and a world leader in her field.

A chronicle of perseverance and courage, EMERGENCE gives new hope and insight into the tragedy of autism and the vast potential of the human spirit.
