I’m missing out on some things, but I also have talents that other people don’t have. I don’t want to give up visual thinking. In fact, Oliver Sacks asked me in his book, “Anthropologist on Mars,” if you could, you know, suddenly snap your fingers and not be autistic, would you do that?
And no, I wouldn’t, because I don’t want to give up visual thinking. Visual thinking make me a very thinking gives me very, very clear thinking in scientific and technical things. To me, a lot of the highly verbal thinkers are very fuzzy thinkers, and they’re not logical.— Temple Grandin, The Woman Who Talks To Animals
