Join us on Friday, October 16, 2026, at the Four Points Sheraton in Norwood for a book signing and talk by renowned animal scientist and leading autism advocate, Dr. Temple Grandin.

Dr. Temple Grandin thinks entirely in pictures. It's a way of seeing that let her become one of the first people to give a firsthand account of what autism actually feels like from inside the mind experiencing it.

Born and raised in Boston. Dr. Grandin is a professor at Colorado State University, an author of eight books, a consultant to the livestock industry, and holds a PhD in animal science.
