The structure of the book, Emergence: Labeled Autistic, is transparent. It starts with early childhood, progresses through elementary years, goes through the painful experience of a bad junior high, which could be translated to many people's experiences growing up, into a boarding school dedicated to helping challenged students, up through college and graduate school. It is a simple, clear, straightforward memoir assisted with the gifted touch of a ghostwriter. At the end of the book, the structure changes somewhat as Temple presents her inventions and conclusions about autism.
