Heroine: Temple Grandin

"My life is basically my work".
Temple Grandin


I ran across the story of this incredible woman in O Magazine. She has inspired others and HBO has made a movie about her and it will play on TV in February. Temple Grandin is a person who is autistic. I  believe her success in life and her ability to live a full life is often in-spite of and also because of the unique characteristics of autism. She was able to bring about a great change in the world and make a difference in the field of study she was passionate about. I find her story amazing, touching, and inspiring.

Below are links to a BBC Documentary done on her:
