Temple Grandin, PhD, wants kids -- especially those on the autism spectrum -- to start using their hands again. The woman Oliver Sacks called "the anthropologist on Mars" explains how our brains may be naturally wired to think in words, mathematics, or visuals, and there's nothing disordered about any of them. Dr. Grandin urges us to respect our young visual thinkers and celebrate their strengths instead of labelling them disabilities.
In this episode of This Is Your Brain, Dr. Stieg talks with Temple Grandin about how visual thinkers process information, and why that perspective is so important. Transcript, and the full playlist of This Is Your Brain podcast episodes, at [ Ссылка ]
