Temple Grandin’s story is inspirational but she represents a very small perecentage of individuals with autism who are very, very high fuinctioning.
What about those who are on the other end of the spectrum. Their story rarely gets told. The best account I ever read, and in my opinion an overlooked gem, is The Accidental teacher: Life Lessons from my Silent Son. http://www.press.umich.edu:80/titleDetailDesc.do?id=1403971
Temple Grandin’s life is like a fairytale with a happily ever after ending. But reality? Think again.
