In this episode, Temple Grandin is the featured Everyday Heroine from the movie ‘Temple Grandin.’ Temple is a great example of women’s leadership with Autism.
The whole world is an obstacle for Temple, but she never lets it hold her back from a dream life. She meets her challenges with inspiration, grace, and grit while leaving the haters in the dust.
First, you discover how determined her mother is to educate her daughter. Her mother persistently teaches Temple on her own. She refused to listen to the doctors even after the Autism diagnosis.
Second, you find how important a great teacher can be during high school. Dr. Carlock also learns how to teach Temple. He teaches her by using pictures. He inspires Temple when he tells her to look at life as a series of doors that she can open to see what is on the other side.
Third, spending the Summer with a loving Aunt and Uncle gives Temple creative space. Living on the ranch gives her many chances to design and build mechanical projects. It also allows her to make a deep connection with cows. Most importantly she makes a connection from how a mechanical device can bring peace to an agitated animal.
During her higher education, she becomes immune to harsh teasing and bullying. She goes on to create huge success with her education, career, and life. Autism does not hold her back from anything and she shows the world what is possible through women’s leadership with Autism.
Finally, the episode closes with the importance of the one strategy she used to grow:

- Lastly, see what is on the other side
