As a child with autism, Temple faced many challenges. When she was diagnosed, her parents were told she would have to be institutionalized.

In the book "Emergence, Labeled Autistic", Grandin tells her story of the challenges she had to overcome and also her triumphs.

Before Grandin's book, people diagnosed as having autism were not expected to achieve or have productive lives.

With early interventions from mentors and teachers who taught Temple how to make accommodations in academic areas, speech and language, and social skills, Temple was able to achieve along side her peers who did not have autism.
