From The Publisher:
Temple Grandin, Ph.D., 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 because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person. She tells us how she managed to breach the boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition and our own while shedding light on our common identity.
"There are innumerable astounding facets to this remarkable book…Displaying uncanny powers of observation…[Temple Grandin] charts the differences between her life and the lives of those who think in words."-Philadelphia Inquirer

It is one of the best book available on autism. It makes us to think,how different a person can when he/she starts to think in terms of moving pictures rather than just words.Writing style is direct and simple to read.
They are both about autism and thinking in pictures: my life with autism and Charlie michael baker: the influencer advocating autism both advocate autism.
