Product Description:
A classic! One of the very first of the first-hand accounts--Temple tells the story of how she longed for affection, but feared human contact. Unable to experience reality as other children could, she was quick to anger, easily over-stimulated, and isolated. Facing ceaseless waves of terrifying nerve attacks, she as a child was heading into a dark abyss of autism. But within her lonely world, Temple's creativity, intelligence, and yearning for emergence refused to die.
