Emergence: Labeled Autistic

by Temple Grandin & Margaret Scariano.

Published by Grand Central Publishing.
First published 1986.

ASIN: B00C6OJJLE

Description:

Childhood memories -- Early school days -- New worries -- Forgettable days at junior high -- Boarding school -- The door -- The magical device -- Through the little door -- Graduate school and the glass door barrier -- Through the sliding glass door -- Working -- coping -- surviving -- Autistics and the real world.

A true story that is both uniquely moving and exceptionally inspiring, Emergence is the first-hand account of a courageous autistic woman who beat the odds and cured herself. As a child, Temple Grandin was forced to leave her "normal" school and enroll in a school for autistic children. This searingly honest account captures the isolation and fears suffered by autistics and their families and the quiet strength of one woman who insisted on a miracle.

Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism

by Temple Grandin.

Foreword by Oliver Sacks.
Expanded and Illustrated edition.

Published by Vintage.
First published 1995.

ISBN-10: 0307275655
ISBN-13: 9780307275653
 
Description:
Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person. She tells us how she managed to breach the boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition and our own while shedding light on our common identity.
