Book Synopsis
A gifted and successful animal scientist, the author, who is autistic, tells us what it was like to grow up perceiving the world in an entirely concrete and visual way - somewhat akin to how animals think. She gives an insight into autism and its challenges using her observed understanding of the workings of her mind.

Trade Review
'Grandin has created a beautifully odd and fascinating picture of her life and mind, and her abiding love of animals' Elle 'A fascinating account of how her mind works in an entirely visual way' Irish Times 'Grandin's window on to the subjective experience of autism is of value to all of us who hope to gain a deeper understanding of the human mind' Washington Times 'It's hard to imagine even an intellect as towering as Sacks's coming up with perceptions as rare and completely out of left field as Grandin herself does in this mind-blowing book' Newsday
