4.0 out of 5 stars Thinking in pictures, 29 Aug 2002
By carol vincent (smethwick, west midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A really good insight into autism. This book captures you from the beginning and you feel that you can see into the world of the writer.
She helps 'normal' peolpe to understand some of the difficulties that autistic people have in communicating and understanding the world around them.
The writer proves how being autistic need not be a barrier in achieving in life.
An interesting account for all readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A God-send for Parents of Autistic Children!, 6 April 1999
By A Customer
This is the FIRST book that I have read that has given me real insight into the mind of my autistic son. I laughed, I cried, and many times I said, "Now I get it!" Temple Grandin has given parents a true gift with the writing of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Temple in Our Honour, 12 Feb 2004
By Calico Pye "Calico Pye" (St Ives, Cornwall, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The book is a fascinating story of her life as a High Functioning Autistic. It is so easy to dismiss people on the Autistic Spectrum but when you have a one time peak inside her head and realise this is an exceptionally clever woman with impressive qualifications in Animal Husbandry to her name, you realise that there is far far more to the lady than meets the eye. I was very impressed with the book - not only is it told with simplicity, dignity and humour, it somehow changes your understanding of the disorder. Well worth the read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit one sided
This is mostly good, well rounded book. However, Dr. Grandin does make some glaring over generalizations, and often seems to assume all autistic people are like herself. Read more
