Everyone knows that she has autism, but they don't know that she has her country.
<1> Memorizing the text, directing and acting and envying your memory
In Temple's eyes, the world is made up of stagnant photos, and this day provides a living space for imagination. In her country, she is both a director and an actor, directing and acting in a very rich and wonderful life drama.
Once the teacher asked Temple to read the text, she was a little overwhelmed. She scanned the text with her eyes, but was able to memorize it smoothly. Everyone was amazed at her memory. From then on she was doomed to be different. Under the guidance of her mentor Carlock, she squandered her talents in her country, opened up an unusual path, and performed a very dazzling life.
<2> Aunt's Farm and Grass Wreath and Squeeze
The thing that must exist in her country is Aunt's Farm and Squeeze. On that little grass-colored wreath of farms, Temple found a machine that calmed down the cows. After a certain panic-stricken flight, she chose that machine and became more and more dependent on it. In college, the professor insisted on throwing it away, but Temple did an experiment on squeezing and safety, and eventually got the professor's approval and kept the machine.
"Nature can be cruel, but we can be cruel." Temple understands the laws of nature, and she understands the fact that human beings cannot change the fact that eating beef, so after seeing the cattle bathed and slaughtered, she decided to let the cattle A beautiful journey before she died, she designed the humane pasture used by more than half of all farms in America. Temple is really a kind girl, her country must be full of love.
<3> Open the door and say goodbye to the mentor and you want to be happy
When Carlock's mentor died, Temple was not as emotionally out of control as everyone imagined, but calmly took off the badge on his chest, so calm that it was distressing. In Temple's view, the mentor did not die, but just left this place, and the memories created with the mentor will always exist in his own country.
At the Autism Conference, Temple finally used the courage to push open the impenetrable door to a new world. Just think of the reasons for Temple's success, it seems that there are too many reasons: the mother's persistence, the aunt's tolerance, the correct guidance of the mentor, the amazing talent, the perseverance of oneself...
As I write this, I seem to hear the blunt but righteous words in my ears again : "My name is Temple. I am different from other people."
Dear Temple, I envy your country, and I am even more moved by everything about you.
So please be happy.
