I love the author Temple Grandin; has anyone else read her work? I love to train dogs, especially Labs, and have trained quite a few for family and friends,and for myself, and didn't get any of her books until this year, but really got a kick out of reading everything of hers I can get my hands on, especially because of my deep love and affinity with all animals, not just dogs...if you haven't read any of her work, you owe it to yourself to check her out, she's amazing, and if you are an animal lover, you will totally be in the "zone" once you read some of her books. Also, by reading some of her work, you will understand more about yourself.

I was given one of Temple Grandin's books as a Christmas present by the Social Worker who first suspected that I had AS. It was "Thinking In Pictures."

I never read her books - I guess I'll have to look into it.

I read "Animals in Translation," and loved it. As an animal lover, I find her work fascinating.

I've read most of her stuff, including her mom's book Thorn in my Side. I've also seen her in person and she autographed my Animals in Translation.

There was an entire BBC show with her posted on Youtube that was in 10 parts. I don't know if it's still there.
