Temple Grandin Libri

Attraverso questo racconto-saggio "dall'interno" dell'autismo, l'autrice fornisce un documento umano nel quale apre una finestra sulla vita e sull'interiorità, cognitiva ed emotiva, delle persone autistiche. Senza tingere di rosa l'autismo, né minimizzare quanto esso l'abbia esclusa, dalla compagnia, dai piaceri, dalle gratificazioni e dalle possibilità che per molti di noi possono costituire buona parte di quella che chiamiamo "vita", l'autrice delinea un quadro ben diverso dalle immagini che la parola "autismo" comunemente evoca.

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
