Tempe Grandin is a highly functional autistic savant. She was mute until the age of 4, but was still able to attain a bachelors, masters and doctorate degree. She is responsible for inventing the 'hug box' - a deep-pressure device built to calm hyper-sensitive people. Grandin concocted this invention at age 18. In 2010, Temple Grandin was featured in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People. Actress Claire Danes portrayed Grandin in the 2010 television movie titled, "Temple Grandin."
