Temple Grandin gained worldwide fame, becoming the first person to publicly talk about the experience of living with autism spectrum disorder. Her book is a live report from the "Autism World" and Grandin , who writes simultaneously from the point of view of an autistic person and from the point of view of a scientist , He said , How this world is perceived by its inhabitants and how she herself managed to get beyond its borders to function as fully as possible in the external world. One of the mysteries of autistic consciousness is the remarkable ability to develop visual and spatial skills with obvious difficulties with the development of verbal skills. Grandin shows the differences between the life of a person with visual thinking and the life of those who think in words. This is a window through which we can look inside the consciousness of a completely different type. Incredibly interesting and very moving, Temple Grandin serves as a bridge between our world and the world in which people live, thinking, feeling and perceiving everything around them completely differently. "Pictures in the Head" was first published in 1995. To this edition, Grandin added an afterword on the latest advances in the study of autism, including new diagnostic criteria, as well as advice to parents of children with autism spectrum disorders.
