It always scares me about thinking about our children's future, what will happen to them if we die, if we didn't help them to become an independent individual, what about their personal relationships, if they will be abused -both physical and emotionally when we were not with them.
This book doesn't erase our fears, this book opens our eyes to see WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO to help them, and give us hope... not just ideas but specific examples of what to do.
It was hard for me to read this also because it goes deep about autism and genetics... It is very hard to accept that my husband and I gave our wonderful child the "bad genes".
Once you get over the guilt, this book helps you to understand that along with autism, there goes a lot of "genius" genes.
this book is a must.

I am the mother of a 2 year old with autism. This is the closest I can get right now to knowing even a little about what is going on in his head. I don't think any psych or pediatrician can even consider themselves an expert of the same caliber as Dr. Grandin. She is autism!

This is the best insite on how autistic people think. It is wonderful and inspiring. I now know how to help my son better with every day life to help him to be functional in society.

I read this by book by some chance but page after page it became like a mirror to me. And it was really a great shock. I agree totally with the others comments and Temple Grandin give us a more deeper view about autistic continuum. Before I believed I was a total social idiot. But every words she use are incredibly close to my way of thinking and my own history as we say in medical terms. And this book became an open door to another level in my life.
This book is helpful for a lot of people especially for parents and teachers who to confront to childs in autistic continuum. And I will be always grateful to Temple Grandin for this book. The worst thing for an high functioning autist is to be closed in his world. Knowing why you are different won't cure you but the balance of your mind is restored.

Dr. Grandin lectures on animal husbandry as well as autism. I've seen her speak in person. She's a very interesting individual. Her way of speaking comes through in the book. She writes very well for the layman.
She covers her career, her interests, and her autism. If you are interested in animal husbandry, interesting women, autism, then this is a good book. If you have autistic kids and feel really under it, its very reassuring to see how this one autistic person has done very well for herself, thanks to early intervention by her parents as well as determination and intelligence on her part.
I also like her personally, because I have had mixed feelings about being an omnivore and am glad she's out there making the experience of animals in our food production a lot less harrowing.
