Product Description
A true story that is both uniquely moving and exceptionally inspiring, Emergence is the first-hand account of a courageous autistic woman who beat the odds and cured herself. As a child, Temple Grandin was forced to leave her "normal" school and enroll in a school for autistic children. This searingly honest account captures the isolation and fears suffered by autistics and their families and the quiet strength of one woman who insisted on a miracle.

 Autistic June 17, 2010
Grannie King
I work with autistic children and this book was very helpful to me in understanding them better. I think the book "Thinking In Pictures" was the most helpful of these books.
Fascinating Look into Autism March 21, 2010
Danna E. Mayhall (Athens, TX USA)
Temple Grandin succeeds in pulling her audience into her world. That world is as mysterious to those of us who are "normal" as an alien planet is to earthlings. We can now understand a little better what is going on in the mind of an autistic person. I highly recommend this book, especially for all of us who are blessed to have an autistic loved one in our families.
 A Great Biography November 19, 2009

This was a great book! I, personally, preferred "Thinking in Pictures" because it was more about autism in general. But I purchased the books to learn more about autism and "Emergence" is more like a biography. This would be a great book for a parent of a child with autism who needed some encouragement as to the possibilities for their child. Great book. Well written. A few minor spelling errors, but it's not distracting.
Emergence: Labeled Autistic May 27, 2009

I was really amazed how Dr. Temple Grandin grew up through this book. First time I saw her presentation on autism/Asperger's(a/A) over the net, I doubted she still has a/A because she spoke so articulately and confidently. Although I hear she seems hypersensitive to loud noises and itches caused by new clothes, I could see she has overcome some of the autistic traits such as quick-tempered behavior, temper tantrum, and any other symptoms she used to have in her childhood and teens. This is, I would say, mainly because her mother and her mentors supported her in order to help her acquire her social skills like Temple said in this book. I began to understand why she became so confident when reading Lorna King's message to Temple on p.147. In short, she wasn't an impressive speaker right from the start. It sounds real wordy or verbose, but those who understand Temple see carefully how she has changed better.
Another thing that amazed me was the squeeze machine. I still have little idea how she came up with this, but it seems to help visual thinkers like her reduce a lot of stress and anxiety. I think the main reason is that visual thinkers get it intuitively instead of by verbal explanation.
After all, I would like Auties/Aspies and those dealing with them to buckle down to Emergence whether or not you are familiar with animal science which Temple majors in.
Wonderful read September 30, 2008
Heather Contreras
I bought this book for a class and absolutely enjoyed reading it. Usually books assigned for classes are boring to read but I completely recommend this book. Very interesting and wonderful first hand account of Autism.
