TEMPLE GRANDIN

on ANIMALS IN TRANSLATION. Ten years ago, Oliver Sacks wrote a profile

for The New Yorker about an extraordinary woman whose triumph over her

developmental disorder was profound but who still felt completely

alienated from human emotion and interaction. With people, she said, she

is a self-proclaimed " anthropologist on Mars " ; among animals, however,

she is completely at home. Although autistic, Grandin earned a doctorate

in animal science and went on to become a professor of animal science,

and one of the most celebrated and effective animal advocates in the

world. Temple Grandin has redefined society's perception of what is

possible for autistics. Her new book is subtitled Using the Mysteries of

Autism to Decode Animal Behavior, its perspective is unlike no other,

and it may revolutionize the way you understand how animals think and

feel. 7:30 PM at Telegraph Avenue
