Future Horizons, the World Leader in Autism & Sensory Resources & Conferences wrote a description of the award on their website which says…
“Future Horizons awards money annually through the Temple Grandin Award to persons diagnosed with autism or Asperger’s Syndrome who have made individual achievements of any kind.
The grand prize of the Temple Grandin Award is given to two individuals (one with autism; one with Asperger’s) who have made a major accomplishment in the past year, although any accomplishment is worthy of nomination and every nominee is a winner.”
