A diciotto anni Temple Grandin si costruì una macchina per gli abbracci. Aveva visto che le mucche diventavano mansuete dentro la gabbia di contenimento usata dal veterinario per visitarle, e aveva intuito che uno strumento simile avrebbe potuto calmare anche lei. Così, con due assi di compensato che si stringevano dolcemente ai lati di una panca, realizzò lo strano congegno. Che funzionò a meraviglia. E Temple, giovane autistica con molti problemi di relazione, capì di avere una speciale affinità con gli animali. E capì che per essere felice avrebbe dovuto studiarli e stare con loro il più possibile. Quel che non sapeva è che varie altre – e non meno spiazzanti – scoperte avrebbero fatto di lei uno dei più famosi esperti del comportamento animale, e che quelle scoperte avrebbero anche modificato il modo di trattare gli animali stessi. «Temple Grandin ci svela, grazie alla sua ottica privilegiata e, ancor più importante, usando della sua speci$ca competenza, gli aspetti più affascinanti del comportamento e della cognizione animale, e cioè la loro percezione del mondo; i loro sentimenti; la loro aggressività; il loro dolore e la loro sofferenza; come e cosa pensano e, infine, cosa essa intende per genialità animale». Danilo Mainardi

Der grosse amerikanische Kinoerfolg Rain Man" erzahlt die Geschichte des Autisten Raymond mit anruhrender Unmittelbarkeit und unpathetischer Leichtigkeit. Ebenso eindringlich und geradeaus ist die Geschichte der Autistin Temple Grandin, die ubrigens mithalf, Rain Man" - Hauptdarsteller Dustin Hoffman auf seine anspruchsvolle Rolle vorzubereiten. Aus ihrer aussergewohnlichen Perspektive schildert Temple Grandin ihren zahen Kampf gegen die bizarren Symptome des Autismus: etwa das Unvermogen, ihre Bewegungen zu kontrollieren, die Besessenheit mit einer Beschaftigung, ihre Gerauschempfindlichkeit, die Uberreiztheit ihres Nervensystems uberhaupt, oder ihre anfangliche totale Unfahigkeit, mittels Sprache oder auch nur Korperkontakt eine Verbindung zur Aussenwelt herzustellen - obwohl sie gerade dies sehnlichst wunschte. Dass es ihr schliesslich dennoch gluckte, sich aus ihrem glasernen Gefangnis zu befreien, verdankt sie ihrem eigenen Erfindungsreichtum: Sie konstruierte einen Apparat, mit dessen Hilfe sie korperliche Beruhrung zulassen, aber auch kontrollieren konnte. Diese Zaubermaschine" wie auch die liebevolle Zuwendung einiger weniger Menschen offneten ihr den Weg durch die glaserne Tur in die reale Welt."
