Temple Grandin is the face of autism and an inspiration to those diagnosed with it. She was an advocate for autistic populations and was also a great writer. In 2010, HBO released an Emmy Award winning film on Grandin's life and how she dealt with autism. As a high-functioning autistic person, Gradin was able to make sense and articulate her unusual life experiences with rare depth. She described her sensitivity to loud noises and and her difficulty socializing with others. She was a visual thinker who considered verbal communication to be a secondary skill. She has taken strong positions on autism and education of autistic children creating many different early interventions a teacher or parent can do to help the child.
