Dr. @temple_grandin is a scientist and animal behaviorist, and she has had a profound effect on how humanely livestock in this country are treated. She’s also had a huge effect on the way we understand people on the autism spectrum. Drawing on her own experience as an autistic person, she has written or co-written many ground-breaking books exploring autism and celebrating neurodiversity. Her first book, “Emergence” was published in 1986, and it changed the way the world views autism. Her new book (out this week), “Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns and Abstractions” will change the way people think about...thinking. She’s been recognized on the list of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world, she’s the subject of an Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning biographical film, and she owns numerous patents for her original designs. There is truly nobody quite like her. And she is the guest on my brand new episode of Design Matters! Link to listen is in my bio or here: https://tinyurl.com/designmatterstemplegrandin
