Have you heard of Temple Grandin? She is an amazing scientist who was diagnosed with autism and Sensory Processing Disorder at a young age.

Temple did not talk for a long time,  but later became one of the most powerful voices in modern science.  She earned three degrees and used them to help change the farming industry.  Her mind was unique and allowed her to connect with animals in a special way.  This helped her invent groundbreaking improvements for farms around the globe!

Temple Grandin- The Girl Who Thought in Pictures

The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin is the first book in a brand new educational series about the inspirational lives of amazing scientists. It has a fun, illustrated rhyming tale. It also includes a complete biography, fun facts, a colorful timeline of events, and even a note from Temple herself!  It is an inspiring book that kids will love reading.

I love how it helps kids understand that we are all a little different and despite those differences there are ways to succeed and make a difference in the world. I also think it is a wonderful book for kids who also have autism or sensory processing disorder. It is good to know there are others like you, going through the same struggles.
