 Temple
Grandin, PhD., is a gifted animal scientist who
has designed one third of all the livestock-handling
facilities in the United States. She also lectures
widely on autism - becasue Temple Grandin is autistic,
a women who thinks, feels and experiences the world
in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of
is.
In her unprecedented book, Thinking in Pictures,
Grandin delivers a report from the country of
autism. Writing from the dual perspectives of
a scientist and an autistic person, she tells
us how that country is experienced by its inhabitants
and how she managed to breach its boundaries to
function in the outside world. What emerges in
Thinking in Pictures is the document of an extraordinary
human being, one who, in gracefully and lucudly
bridging the gulf between her condition and our
own, sheds light on the riddle of our common identity.
