Dr. Temple Grandin: The Hidden Gifts of Visual Thinkers

Author and activist Dr. Temple Grandin has been at the forefront of research for autism, neurodiversity, and animal behavior for decades. Together, we'll discuss her most recent book and much more!

Dr. Grandin's memoir, Emergence: Labeled Autistic, was published in 1986, and she has continued to write about autism and neurodivergence over the decades. Her most recent book is Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions.

Dr. Grandin’s research and understanding of animal behavior spearheaded a reform in the quality of life for agricultural animals worldwide.
