Born with autism, both Temple Grandin and Sean Barron now live famously successful social lives. However, their paths were quite different. Temple's logical mind controlled her social behavior. She interacted with many adults and other children, experiencing varied social situations. Logic informed her decision to obey social rules and avoid unpleasant consequences. Sean's emotions controlled his social behavior. Baffled by social rules, isolated and friendless, he made up his own and applied them to others. When they inevitably broke his rules, he felt worthless and unloved. Both Temple and Sean ultimately came to terms with the social world and found their places in it. Whether you are a person with autism, a caregiver in the autism community, or just someone interested in an outsider view of society, their powerful stories will enthrall and enlighten you. The first edition of Unwritten Rules of Social Engagement was the Silver Award Winner of the Book of the Year Awards and the original edition sold more than 40,000 copies in hard cover!

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».

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.
An inspiring firsthand account of a courageous and determined autistic woman who makes a remarkable discovery that eventually helps her control her condition and virtually cure her disorder captures the isolation and fears suffered by autistic children.
