Within the battle between the brain of one and the minds of many, this struggle for success was won by the brain of one --- this brain was Temple Grandin.
During her struggles with autism, finding companions, and her constant search and strive for what's right, she encounters a love so deep into the roots of life: admiration and companionship of other, nonhuman species. She survives to bring about a new, brighter world for people with autism and other animals' well-being alike. She is the most amazing woman I know, my idol, and my hero!
I have autism, and very much like her, I have a goal: to help other animals in their struggles and help other people who have autism find their way that they can be proud of, just like we have.
I believe humans have caused a lot of issues to our environment and home, so I intend to help fix it. I intend to follow in Temple Grandin's footsteps as well as walk into the distant future together. Here are my thoughts and emotions. Watch them flow out and words, and take over your heart, as her heroic deeds did mine.

A Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Dear Reader: You are precious, priceless, and irreplaceable. In the entire history -- of the entire universe: In the history of all Eternity... There has been, and ever will be, only one you. Herein are opinions, observations, and things autobiographical. These essays and editorials were written within, oh, 2 or 3 years. I've survived autism, mania, depression, amnesia, multiple personalities, being borderline suicidal as a teenager ... and aardvark pox. (Or was it turkey pox?) My "editorial opinions" prove that I'm a fearless, ferocious... ¿Were-Chihuahua? [Every full moon, I turn into an ankle biter.] Me?? Delusional?? Nope. So, OF COURSE, I'm "considering" a career in American politics. {Made you smile.} Or cry: sorry about that. This ain't your typical autobiography. No. It is not. Seriously, though: "I've survived myself" is an acceptable legacy.Complete

What Do You See When You Look At Me?
Raised as an only child, in a happy, loving home, Liya was surrounded by love at every turn. She saw it in the way her father looked at her mother, in the little gestures, and the grand ones. However, when diagnosed with Autism (ASD) as a child, her parents feared that her social awkwardness, lack of interest in physical touch, social interactions, and displays of affection, would hold her back. Not just in school, but in life and love, as well. When a phone call, in her third year of University, alters the life she had worked so hard to create for herself, Liya decides to return home, in the hopes she can salvage some semblance of what she once had and keep her family above water. When, upon her return to New York two years later, Liya obtains a writing job at a top Engineering magazine publisher and soon finds herself knee deep in the Biomedical Engineering world, in the middle of Toulouse, France, with the weight of her first major article on her back, and a promise to a friend that she would let go for once and 'try'. To let what happens, happen. So, when a stubborn, raven-haired man insists on taking her to dinner, she keeps her promise and tries. Tries and hopes she doesn't regret it in the morning.
