Nur einer hochbegabten Autistin wie Temple Grandin konnte es gelingen, das Verhalten von Tieren so genau zu beobachten und zu analysieren, dass sie mehr über sie verstand als die meisten anderen Menschen. Denn Tiere sind uns ähnlich, viel mehr, als wir bislang dachten. Temple Grandin gehört zu den wenigen Autisten, denen es gelang, sich die Welt der Sprache zunutze zu machen, um ihre Welt der Farben, Bilder und Filme anderen zugänglich zu machen. Sie machte eine beispiellose Karriere und gilt heute als eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Tierpsychologinnen. Denn sie kann die Welt so sehen, wie es Tiere tun. Und deshalb kann sie das Verhalten, die Begabungen und Ängste von Tieren verstehen und so den Umgang mit ihnen verbessern helfen. Immer wieder findet Temple Grandin bestätigt, wie sehr ihre eigene Wahrnehmung derjenigen von Tieren ähnelt. In ihrem Bewusstsein und ihrem Gedächtnis sind nur Bilder, die sie für die Außenwelt in Worte übersetzt. Und sie kann Gedanken und Gefühle von Tieren in unsere Sprache übersetzen. Damit revolutioniert sie unser Verständnis von Tieren.
