“The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin” by Julia Finley Mosca
The Girl Who Thought in Pictures documents the life of Dr. Temple Grandin, an autistic woman. Temple never quite fit in at school and had trouble expressing herself. She grew up feeling alienated and misunderstood by her peers, but at home with animals. Eventually, she went to live on a farm, where she was free to act however she wanted and not be judged. She made lots of discoveries and invented many things, all because she was able to live in a way that worked for her.
I would classify this book as “power sharing” because of its powerful message about living with autism. Not every space is going to be welcoming, but that does not make an individual any less capable.
