Autism: "Thinking like an animal"

A professor with mild autism explains:

Temple Grandin is an assistant professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She wrote Thinking in Pictures and has made numerous TV appearances. She is mildly autistic, which has given her a unique insight into the way autistics think. She contends it is very similar to the way that prey animals, such as horses and cattle, think.
