The idea that some people think differently, though no less humanly, is explored in this inspiring book. Temple Grandin is a gifted and successful animal scientist, and she is autistic. Here she tells us what it was like to grow up perceiving the world in an entirely concrete and visual way - somewhat akin to how animals think, she believes - and how it feels now. Through her finely observed understanding of the workings of her mind, she gives us an invaluable insight into autism and its challenges.

Reviews for Thinking in Pictures

'Grandin has created a beautifully odd and fascinating picture of her life and mind, and her abiding love of animals' Elle 'A fascinating account of how her mind works in an entirely visual way' Irish Times 'Grandin's window on to the subjective experience of autism is of value to all of us who hope to gain a deeper understanding of the human mind' Washington Times 'It's hard to imagine even an intellect as towering as Sacks's coming up with perceptions as rare and completely out of left field as Grandin herself does in this mind-blowing book' Newsday
