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...
