This is the story of Temple Grandin's youth and how she came to grow into her autistic self. She writes so honestly and openly but from an objective point of view. I highly recommend this read to autistic adults or parents of autistic children. Recommended By Rin S., Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
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.
