Thinking in Pictures

Zusatztext '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' Informationen zum Autor Temple Grandin Klappentext 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.

Through her finely observed understanding of the workings of her mind she gives us an invaluable insight into autism and its challenges.
