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.

Industry Reviews

Del Morrison, Ph.D., Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Clinic Lorna Jean King, OTR, FAOTA, Center for Neuro-Developmental Studies * 'This is the story of a frightening journey which provides the reader with a first hand account of the sense of isolation, hopelessness, and anxiety suffered by autistics and their families.' * Temple's remarkable story is uniquely valuable in helping us see autism from the 'inside. * Her dedication to science and her uncompromising honesty about herself will help scientists understand the links between neurology, empathy, and altruism.' *
