Story4.5 out of 5 stars 485
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 Temple Grandin is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us.

Good book on autism, ton of info
Reviewed: 06-22-15
Good book. A ton of info on autism. I enjoyed reading her personal stories and upbringing. A few sections/chapters are very abstract and hard to understand (especially when talking about medicine and research). Need a college reading level to tackle this book. Probably could be 2-3 chapters less. Not just an autobiography... A whole lot more! Very detailed and in depth. She has her Ph.D. and that shows in her writing. A MUST READ FOR ANY PARENT WHO HAS A CHILD WITH AUTISM!!!! I read this book as an educator and found it very helpful and beneficial. Updated chapters were nice and current.

Story5 out of 5 stars 44
Born a spastic quadriplegic, Rick Hoyt was written off by numerous doctors, but his parents, Dick and Judy Hoyt, were determined to give their son all the opportunities of a "normal" kid. In 1977, 15-year-old Rick asked his dad to enter a charity race. The twist? Rick wanted to run it too. Dick had never run a race before, and the thought of pushing his son’s wheelchair while running was daunting. But, once again, Dick and Rick were determined to overcome any obstacle. More than 1,000 races later, the devoted father son duo is affectionately known worldwide as Team Hoyt.
