The specific topic of this book is what the life of an autistic person is like. She really seems to tell her life story in this book. She helps the reader visualize her life and the struggles that were in it. She might not call them struggles though. I believe that to her autism was just an obstacle in life and she seems to have went right around it. I think that the reason she wrote her book was to help people better understand what an autistic person has to deal with. She has found a way to get around her problems unlike many other people with this disorder, so I believe she is kind of speaking for all the people with

Since her book is more of an autobiography, I do not believe that she really states a thesis. Like I wrote earlier, I believe that she is simply trying to help people understand what autism is. In her book, she uses personal observations as well as biographical and historical accounts. Almost everything she wrote about in the book was about her life or something she had witnessed and experienced in her life. She uses all of this to help the reader understand the symptoms of autism and how it affects someone's life. I believe she wants to make it easier for people with autism and people who deal with autistic people to know what can be accomplished even with the disorder. I derive this because she writes things like, "Visual thinking has enabled me to build entire systems in my imagination"(19). To me this is saying that she sees her disability as a gift. If all people would see the good side of autism, they would have hope. So therefore her tone in this book seems to be uplifting and encouraging. She continually refers to her accomplishments in life to show that it is possible to have a good life even with a disorder such as autism. Dr. Grandin has a very straightforward type of style. She just tells everyone what can be done and repeats it throughout the entire book. I believe this style is the most effective and is the easiest to understand.

I found Dr. Temple Grandin's book to be very intriguing. It has helped me to better understand what people with autism go through. I do not fully understand it yet, but this book has opened up my mind. I would like to further my studies on this particular disorder. Dr. Grandin gives hope to all the autistic people in the world through this book. If they are unable to understand it due to their disorder, it should at least give the people around them hope for the best. By writing this book, she shows that a normal life can be achieved even with autism. Dr. Grandin must be a very hard-working and determined woman to fight past such a huge obstacle. Everyone can learn something from
