Temple Grandin----the Living Legend

It has only been two days since i began to get to know this great woman---Temple Grandin .however, there are tons of labels on the cards, bestselling author, world well-known professor, and she also has been named a”HERO”of 2010 in TIME magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. But behind that ,she is just an autism but with strong belief and heart

  The day before yesterday, i was bored and switched the tune on tv. Then i saw the movie called Temple Grandin ,the HBO original series .5 minutes later i was fall for this great character called Temple .she was labeled and diagnosed with brain damage and autism at the age of 2.she even was considered to have speech issues but her mother did not think so .and she encourage he to associate with people ,ride horse with other kids, which has make a most intelligent choice for Temple. Nevertheless, being different wasn’t that easy. But Temple made it through and became a better person in finding herself.

  “you are diifferent but not less” that was her motto.Temple spoke too fast so she have to repeat over and over again.then it coused others laughing at her ,bulling her and calling her tape recorder .  people like Temple who are so different from normal often get panic because of other people’s teasing .she was a visual thinker (there are pattern and verbal thinkers , too) she sees things in pictures. people tought that she was crazy.but it also gives  her a gift that she was better at noticing details which most people ignore ,which has been a huge asset in her career designing livestock facilities.

   At last she succeed in achieving her dream .and became more social .fixing in was all she has been trying to do and thank god it did has a little improvement.she  always loves animals,so she speak for the cows,listening to their voice.

   After seeing this movie , i Google her and Wiki her .listening the speech she gave on TED.then i can’t help wondering;are the autisms really so unnormal and different from us people? The answer is absolutely no . we often see some geeky,neardy and weird people .they close themslves off with other people .but they may just the most extrodinary, bright ,intelligent people in the world like stephn howking,bill gates ,etc.as a matter of fact,if we give those young chirldren patient and encouragement.they may just the people who change the world.

     Then there is a song that is quating from the movie;

  When you walk through a storm ,hold your head up high;

And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the  end of storm is a golden sky

And a sweet sliver song of a lark

....

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on ! walk on ! you will never be alone!
 

My name is Temple Grandin .i am not like other people . so what?!
