Copies: 7

When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew that she was different. As a baby, she was silent and unresponsive; as a toddler, she threw violent temper tantrums but never spoke a word. It wasn't until years later that she was diagnosed with autism, a brain disorder that makes communication difficult. Temple's father wanted to put her into a mental institution. But her mother believed in her, and so Temple went to school instead.
