Thinking in Pictures [electronic resource] : My Life with Autism. Temple Grandin.

Grandin, Temple. (Author).

Summary:

The 25th anniversary edition of this seminal work on autism and neurodiversity provides “a uniquely fascinating view” (Deborah Tannen, author of You Just Don’t Understand ) of the differences in our brains, and features updated research and insights. With a foreword by Oliver Sacks.   Originally published in 1995 as an unprecedented look at autism, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person to give a report from “the country of autism.” Introducing a groundbreaking model which analyzes people based on their patterns of thought, Grandin “charts the differences between her life and the lives of those who think in words” ( The Philadelphia Inquirer ).   For the new edition, Grandin has written a new afterword addressing recent developments in the study of autism, including new diagnostic criteria, advancements in genetic research, updated tips, insights into working with children and young people with autism, and more.
