$24.95 Eustacia Cutler is
the mother of Temple Grandin, Ph.D., a successful author and lecturer
who has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this intelligently written
and absorbing memoir, she describes what it was like to raise Temple from
1947 to 1962, a time when ASD was considered a psychosocial disorder rather
than a neurodevelopmental one. She chronicles in great detail her numerous
consultations with doctors, Temple’s school and community life, and
her own budding career as a singer. In the book’s final chapters
she discusses Temple’s current success, her own participation in
Temple’s lectures about ASD, and her conversations with professionals
about current ASD theories and treatments. |
