  Temple Grandin was diagnosed as being autistic at the
  age of three. An intelligent child with a thirst for
  knowledge, but unable to properly express herself or
  control her own behavior, Temple struggled through grade school. Eventually, her disruptive behavior forced her expulsion from a normal school and enrollment at a
  school for autistic children. There Temple fared better,
  but she began to suffer from nerve attacks. Through
  working at the school's farm, Temple learned about cattle presses, which are used to calm nervous livestock. After building her own press, Temple Grandin used it to
  successfully control her nerve attacks, and for all intents
  and purposes, cure her autism.
  Reading this book is an adventure. There is no other book
  like it-even remotely like it. The reason is simple. The
  author has a story to tell, a true story, one that is so
  breathtakingly unusual you will think it to be mere
  fiction.
