The paper is about the determination and spirit of being acknowledged in the society where everyone rejects a person carrying any severe disability. Temple Grandin, who could not use words to express herself and could not even speak for several years in the beginning had this astonishing power of creating images of the world and people near to her in her mind and express her views in pictorial form and recalling them without thought. She developed an immense love for animals, especially livestock destined for slaughterhouses.
