Because Temple Grandin had autism, she acted different than other people. There are three main effects as a result of Temple Grandin’s autism.

The first effect is that she could not communicate with people until she was three years old. As you know you could not text back then so she could not even talk to her friends or to family when she needed something or wanted something. She would just cry until she could not cry anymore. She never learned sign language and Temple did not know any words. So her mother thought she had to write everything on paper.

Secondly, Temple could see pictures instead of words. When she read a book she could see the words in the book as pictures. This helped her in school when she had to study for a quiz.
