"[Grandin’s] most insightful work to date…The Autistic Brain is something anyone could benefit from reading, and I recommend it to anyone with a personal or professional connection to autism or neurological difference."—John Elder Robison, author of Look Me in the Eye "In The Autistic Brain, Grandin explains what she's learned in recent years about her brain and the brains of others with autism." -- USA Today "Grandin has helped us understand autism not just as a phenomenon, but as a different but coherent mode of existence that otherwise confounds us…She excels at finding concrete examples that reveal the perceptual and social limitations of autistic and "neurotypical" people alike." — The New York Times
“The right brain has created the right book for right now.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Temple Grandin may be the most famous person with autism, a condition that affects 1 in 88 children. Since her birth in 1947, our understanding of it has undergone a great transformation, leading to more hope than ever before that we may finally learn the causes of and treatments for autism.
Weaving her own experience with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the advances in neuroimaging and genetic research that link brain science to behavior, even sharing her own brain scan to show which anomalies might explain common symptoms. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and educating kids on the autism spectrum must focus on their long-overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions. The Autistic Brain brings Grandin’s singular perspective into the heart of the autism revolution.
"[Grandin’s] most insightful work to date . . . The Autistic Brain is something anyone could benefit from reading, and I recommend it to anyone with a personal or professional connection to autism or neurological difference."—John Elder Robison, author of Look Me in the Eye
"The Autistic Brain can both enlighten readers with little exposure to autism and offer hope and compassion to those who live with the condition."—Scientific American
Nuts and bolts of Austistic/gifted brain and potential jobs for each type. Very interesting. As I suspected, it describes the hard wiring in our brain, especially of an autistic/gifted one in a manner I expected. A very useful part of this book is at the end where it describes three types of thinkers and the most likely jobs for each. This is very useful information that needs further exploration. I am older and in my high school they had career testing. This is good but I think there might be something that can be done earlier in a child's school career.We all have strengths and weaknesses that need to be explored plus the sides of each of us that need some assistance. In my time, schools had money for enrichment classes. Ex. I took chemistry in the fifth grade, and studied in depth about Pompeii in the fourth. Now, it is left to parents to fill those gaps. Classes on social expectations such as how to have a conversation, etc. would be excellent for high-functioning Aspergers , and I think the others as well. Then all would know our social cues together just like we must learn math, science, history, etc. A lot of our society now focuses on weaknesses, instead of our individual gifts. Bullies seem to be rewarded and continue their rein even into adulthood and the workplace. People are judged on whether they have the perfect body and perceived flaws are magnified. Acceptance of each all our gifts and those around us is key. If we were all the same then our society would not evolve. Thank goodness for people like Temple.First class account of life on the spectrum When I began reading this book I wasn't sure it would have much application to me as an educator of children with autism, but boy was I wrong! This book is a must-read for those who have loved ones on the spectrum or who are, themselves, on the spectrum. Temple opened my mind to new ways to teach my kiddos by focusing on their individual strengths. I even had the honor of meeting her at a book signing in my city recently.Perfect book for anyone who has ASD, family, caregiver, teacher/ etc Love Temple! Ever since I watched her movie about 7 years ago I have become such a fan! Until I had a child of my own 3 years ago and he was diagnosed with ASD I started to read more of her books about autism. She is such an inspiration to parents and so knowledgeable. This book is a must have for anyone who has ASD, is a caregiver, teacher, parent, family member, or has contact with anyone with ASD. Temple covers everything from the neurological basis, behaviors, examples, research, as well as explains the research and findings at a level that everyone can understand. I honestly believe that is you can understand what is going on inside of the brain and why, you can better understand the person and the behaviors.Thank you Temple for everything you do!
