Mary Temple Grandin was born in Boston Massachusetts August 29, 1947. Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism in 1949 at the age of 2. Autism is a disorder that affects communication skills, and social skills. Grandin began to speak at the age of 4. Her mom didn't see autism as an excuse to be treated differently. Grandin was treated the same as other student/children.
In Grandin's later life she develop close friends which were her college roommate, science teacher and cows. Grandin didn't get married nor had children or had a long terms romantic relationship because that isn't her life. Her life is working in animal science, welfare and autism rights. Grandin had a degree in psychology from Franklin Pierce College in 1970, master's degree in animal science from Arizona State University and doctoral degree in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Grandin had a problem with doors because of her autism, she would freak out because in her mind she has a image of a guillotine. When Grandin would freak out or feel sad or mad, she uses her squeeze-box to calm down because she doesn't like touching people or people touching her. The squeeze-box is supposed to feel like a hug. The squeeze-box is a machine she created.
Grandin designed an animal handling inventions to keep animals calm and prevent them from getting hurt. She also had designed livestock handling facilities around the world and developed an objective scoring system for assessing the handling of cattle and pigs at plants. Temple Grandin is a writer. She wrote for Time magazine, People magazine and wrote 6 books. Also Grandin is a inventor she invented many things such as her squeeze-box. Grandin worked as a animal science professor at Colorado State University since 1990. I see obstacles as opportunities and allow myself to learn from those experiences just like Temple Grandin did I would take advantage of that opportunity.
