Dr Temple Grandin can talk to the animals, she has a legendary ability to read the animal mind and understand animal behaviour when no-one else can. But this is no feat of telepathy, her explanation is simple - she's convinced she experiences the world much as an animal does and it's all down to her autistic brain. Labelled retarded at three-years-old, she didn't learn to speak until she was five but at nearly 60 she's an associate professor of animal science and the most famous autistic woman on the planet. This is the intimate story of Temple's journey from despair to world wide fame.
