If youve ever felt different,
if youve ever been low,

if you dont quite fit in,
theres a name you should know.

TEMPLE GRANDINs that name.
In her tale, youll find glory.

So, get ready, get set,
for this cowgirls TRUE story.

In the city of Boston,
one hot summer day,

a sweet baby was born.
It was Temple! HOORAY!

Unique from the start,
an unusual girl,

she loved spinning in circles
and watching things twirl.

But some things she hated,
like certain loud sounds,

or bright, crowded places
large cities and towns.

Frilly dresses with tags
made her itch, pull, and tug...

Something else that she hated?
A BIG SQUEEZY HUG!

A shy loner, this Temple,
but when she got mad,

when her feelings of stress
and frustration got bad,

quite a tantrum shed throw

KICK

HOLLER

BANG

SHRIEEEEEK!

Yet, still, by age three,
not one word did she speak.

Shell never be normal,
was what some did say.

Her brains not quite right.
You must send her away.

AWAY? Not my Temple!
her mother proclaimed.

We will figure this out.
You should all be ashamed!

Then, little by little,
though sometimes she balked,

special teachers helped Temple,
and one day, she TALKED!

And that thing with her brain...
it was AUTISM, see?

She was DIFFERENT, NOT LESS,
they all finally agreed.

Like most kids her age,
she loved ice cream and art,

but the way Temple THOUGHT
thats what set her apart.

If something was mentioned,
for instance, a FLY,

in her mind, shed see dozens
of PHOTOS buzz by.

When the time came for school,
lets just say that was hard.

Kids taunted and chased her
all over the yard.

They picked on poor Temple
how CRAZY it drove her.

They teased her for saying things
over and over.

And over...

And over...

AND over.

Until finally, she SNAPPED!
Yes, she did, lost her cool

threw a book at a kid
and was kicked out of school!

No one really GOT Temple,
but well, then again...

The truth of it was,
Temple didnt get THEM.

You need time away,
said her mom. Thats whats best.

Youll go visit your aunt
on a ranch way out west.

And guess what? Fitting in
on a farm WAS less stress,

since the PIGS didnt care
if her hair was a mess.

Quite a sweet spot, she had,
for the cows in their herds,

such big, gentle beasts,
who knew nothing of words.

As she watched her new friends,
a thought popped in her head:
