Dr. Temple Grandin discusses her book "Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions", a landmark book that reveals, celebrates, and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkers. A quarter of a century after her memoir, Thinking in Pictures, forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin—the “anthropologist on Mars,” as Oliver Sacks dubbed her—transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker. Get the book here: https://goo.gle/3FyXxYl. With her genius for demystifying science, Dr. Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed, she reveals, and a more varied one, from the photo-realistic object visualizers like Grandin herself, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving, to the abstract, mathematically inclined “visual spatial” thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation, Dr. Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a highly competitive world, this important book helps us see we need every mind on board. Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Sciences at Colorado State University and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Animals in Translation, Animals Make Us Human, The Autistic Brain, and Thinking in Pictures, which became an HBO movie starring Claire Danes. Dr. Grandin has been a pioneer in improving the welfare of farm animals as well as an outspoken advocate for the autism community. Moderated by Jenny Hamer. #talksatgoogle #templegrandin

As we strive to bring about awareness during April’s “Autism Month,” we want to pay tribute to the most famous person on the autism spectrum, author and speaker Dr. Temple Grandin. This video is a compilation of quotes that have taught us much about the journey of autism and instill hope in each and every one of us for a brighter future. Future Horizons proudly celebrates 20 years as the world’s largest resource for autism, Asperger’s syndrome and sensory processing disorder books, DVDs, and conferences! It all started with a book on “Laughing and Loving,” written by the owner and founder, Wayne Gilpin, who wished to share stories about his son with autism, Alex, and his unique view of the world. This first book was a mixture of joy, humor and love that Alex brought to Wayne and his family, which shed a positive light on living with autism during a time when one was hard pressed to find encouraging resources on the topic. Thanks to our many talented and professional authors and speakers, we now offer a very extensive selection of autism resources providing education, support, encouragement and hope for what is possible.
