How Temple Grandin Changed the World “Animals are things!” said the famous animal scientist Temple Grandin who also has been challenged by autism (“Temple Grandin”). People do not understand how Temple Grandin has such a way with animals. They do not believe her, yet she proves them wrong (Sepahban 11). Temple has been dealing with autism since August 29, 1947. The day she was born her parents realized Temple was different (6). Temple Grandin changed the world with her disability and could not have done it without autism.

Temple has been in 2010 Time Magazine and was named “most effective person in the world”. She was also named National Humanitarian from American Humane Association in 2011 (“Temple”). She got these awards because she designed a way for cattle to not be stressed before they go to be killed. When they get killed, they are shipped to slaughterhouses for meat. McDonald's and Burger King asked her to make the fast food places more sanitary. To Temple this was one of the best awards (Sepahban 27).
Temple accomplished many things that regular people could never do. She can feel what the animals go through and one day she felt hurt so, she designed a new type of chute to keep the animals from being in pain. That day was the start of a new life and she accomplished so many things for the world (Sepahban 21). When she went to create the chute, she had to make a better way for the cows to move around without falling and breaking something (25). She made steel ramps with ridges and concrete (23). Her new dip vac design made it so that the cows could not see the slaughter in front of them
