The Minds of Autism
Her mind works like Google for pictures. Nice introduction to autism in it’s different forms, the autism spectrum disorder, does DSM V already have this one?
Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works — sharing her ability to “think in pictures,” which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.

How is it a nice introduction to the minds of the persons with Low Functioning Autism, the 75-80% of persons with Autistic Disorder who are intellectually disabled/cognitively impaired?
