Temple Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, and she has been a pioneer in improving the handling and welfare of farm animals. Temple’s achievements are remarkable because she was an autistic child. At age two, she had no speech and all the signs of severe autism. Many hours of speech therapy and intensive teaching enabled Temple to learn speech. Inspired by her high school science teacher and her aunt on her ranch in Arizona, Temple was motivated to study and pursue a career as a scientist and livestock equipment designer.
