Can we get a source on the line under "Diagnosis" that claims that Temple's mother found a checklist that suggested that Temple was autistic when she was in her mid-teens? 75.183.42.201 (talk) 20:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The "Middle school and high school" section indicated that she was expelled at 14, and her parents divorced a year later (making her 15). It then says that three years later, her mother remarried. However, the section goes on to say that Temple spent a summer at her mother's future husband's sister's farm at the age of 15.
It seems unlikely that she would go spend a summer at the farm of someone she would likely barely know at that point (her parents having just gotten divorced, so it would have been *at most* a year, assuming that her mother started dating her new husband immediately, and family was introduced quickly). Does it mean that Temple spent the summer at the farm at 18? That seems like a more reasonable timeframe. 71.59.251.200 (talk) 00:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
