The University of Nevada, Reno and The Autism Coalition of Nevada are honored to present an evening with Temple Grandin. As an adult with Asperger's Syndrome, Temple has lectured around the world regarding autism and early intervention. She is the inventor of a hug machine (based on her own experiences) designed to produce a calming effect on persons with hypersensitivity to sensory information.

She is also a renowned designer of humane livestock handling equipment in use in approximately half of the cattle facilities in North America. She is currently a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University.

A best-selling author, Temple has been recognized as a leader in both the animal welfare and autism advocacy movements. She is listed in the 2010 Time 100 list as one of the most influential people in the world in the "Heroes" category.

Additional seating will be available in the Wells Fargo Auditorium, located on the first floor of the Knowledge Center, where a live feed of Temple Grandin will be streamed.
