Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism

One-third of all cattle handling facilities in the US were created by the talented animal scientist Temple Grandin, Ph.D. Because she is autistic and thinks, feels, and sees the world in ways that are unfathomable to the rest of us, she also gives a lot of talks about autism. Grandin speaks from the dual views of a scientist and an autistic person in this ground-breaking work. She describes to us how she overcame the limitations imposed by autism to carry out daily tasks. What comes through is the record of a remarkable human being, one who illuminates our shared identity while skillfully bridging the gap between her situation and our own.
