Winner of a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Nonfiction Book
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 like challenges with sensory processing. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and educating kids on the autism spectrum requires a strengths-based approach, focusing on their long-overlooked talents to foster their unique contributions.
The Autistic Brain brings Grandin’s singular perspective to the heart of the neurodiversity revolution.
In this essential guide for parents, educators, and individuals on the spectrum, Grandin explores:
- Thinking in Pictures: How different types of thinking―visual, pattern, and word-based―shape the abilities and challenges of individuals with autism.
- The Autistic Brain: A tour inside Grandin’s own mind, using her personal brain scans to connect the latest in brain science to real-world experiences.
- Beyond the Label: Why we must move past the limitations of DSM labels and focus on the unique talents and contributions of every individual.
- Parenting and Education: Practical, actionable advice for helping children and adults on the spectrum thrive by building on their long-overlooked strengths.
