Program Description

The Hidden Gifts of Visual Thinkers
with Temple Grandin, Phd.

Join us for a special event with Temple Grandin, PhD., one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism. Grandin has been at the forefront of research and activism for autism and neurodiversity for decades.

Her 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.

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