The film is adapted from the personal autobiography of Tempo Grandin (Claire Danes), an American animal scientist and a doctor of animal husbandry who suffered from autism since childhood. It tells about Tempo's unique growth experience.
Tempo was diagnosed with autism by doctors when he was four years old, and his mother tried various methods to get Tempo to speak. In order to let Tianbao have a normal life, her mother sent her to a boarding school to study. Here, Tempo met Dr. Carlock, the mentor who opened the door to her talent. With the help of his mentor, Tianbao successfully entered the university. During the summer vacation before college, Tian Bao came to his aunt's farm for vacation. Since then, Tempo has developed a strong interest in livestock. In college, Tempo made "squeeze machines" to calm nerves. After graduation, Tianbao continued to engage in research and study of animal husbandry, and designed a slaughtering method that greatly improved the slaughtering rate and was more humane. Tianbao perceives the world in her unique way, "thinking like an animal", and speaks out about her own personal experience at the autism seminar...

Temple Grandin quotes

  • Temple Grandin: Of course they're gonna get slaughtered. You think we'd have cattle if people didn't eat 'em everyday? They'd just be funny-lookin' animals in zoos. But we raise them for us. That means we owe them some respect. Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be. I would'nt want to have my guts ripped out by a lion, I'd much rather die in a slaughterhouse if it was done right.

    Dr. Carlock: It seems to me that you should be the one to design... the slaughterhouse...

    Temple Grandin: [interrupting] We can easily do a way where they don't feel pain and they don't get scared.

    Dr. Carlock: Did you hear what I said, Temple? I think you're the one who should design it.

  • [Temple tries to leave the funeral]

    Eustacia: Temple, are you alright?

    Temple Grandin: I'm leaving now.

    Eustacia: It isn't over yet.

    Temple Grandin: I said goodbye when I saw him, he isn't there. I've got him in my mind.
