AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"The literature of autism is beautiful and strange, strangest perhaps in that it contains so much astonishing autobiography....Grandin herself was the subject of Oliver Sacks's essay 'An Anthropologist on Mars', which originally ran in 'The New Yorker' and is the title piece of his most recent book....But even Sacks's fine writing about autism does not really compare to writing from within autism, because autism is a disorder of interiority....[Grandin's] great gift, as the title of her book suggests, is her ability to visualize, to 'think in pictures.' For Grandin, words are hopelessly abstract.Grandin, Temple is the author of 'Thinking in Pictures And Other Reports from My Life With Autism', published 1996 under ISBN 9780679772897 and ISBN 0679772898.
