Description: Author Grandin, a gifted animal scientist, has designed one third of all the ivestock-handling facilities in the United States. But Ms. Grandin is also autistic - a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes about autism from uniquely dual perspectives of a scientist and autistic person. What emerges is an account of an extraordinary human being who bridges the gulf between her condition and our own, shedding light on the riddle of our common identity. Softcover, 127 pages.
