ID : 13410   

« back to classes page
Temple Grandin may be the most famous person with autism, a condition that affects 1 in 88 children. Grandin, a professor at Colorado State University, brings her unique perspective to the autism revolution. Advances in neuroimaging and genetic research link brain science to behavior. Grandin’s positive research helps “different kinds of minds” succeed and brings her own perspective to living with autism. Read and discuss the book and explore a case study of Christopher Knight who retreated into the Maine woods for 27 years, living in seclusion as a hermit—not angry but overwhelmed.
