:- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Disappoionting : to some, but she assumes we are all alike, and we are not. I'm convinced that all of us are different. I was hoping to find out how my brain is different from the brains of neuronormals, and was interested in how the author's brain is different. I admire her efforts to study her own brain. I would not go to those lengths to have my brain scanned. For me a brain scan would be pure torture. I was interested to see that I share many of the author's sensory problems as well as how many are different from hers. With so many differences from her experiences as well as the differences she has seen among her students, I am coming to think there isn't such a thing as an "Autistic Brain", because we are all so different in so many ways. But if the brain is no different, then how come there are so many sensory differences between us and the neuronormals? It's our perceptions that seem to be different. Social events they enjoy were always torture for me. I suffered through them because other people wanted me to be normal. And I thought I could make myself be normal, but I never could learn to like the things they enjoy. This book did nothing to explain to me why it is impossible for me to be "normal". Perhaps no one knows. I thought having a brain that is different would explain the problem. She would need to see the scans of many Autistic brains to see anything they have in common. She doesn''t mention having done that. Any scientific study of any value needs to have a great many subjects to compare. Without those comparisons, the idea of an "Autistic Brain" has no real data to prove anything. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from David Schwartz -- Very geeky description of stuff with tons of research references and details : I was blown away by this book because of how it straddles a line between easily understandable abstractions and detailed scientific explanations. Today is now 2021 and I'd love to see an update that goes into newer research in the decade since this was published. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from GReview12 -- This book is super fascinating! My grandson is high functioning autistic and ... : This book is super fascinating! My grandson is high functioning autistic and after reading this book I now suspect my youngest son is also.. but not ever officially "diagnosed" as such. What I like is that the Temple Grandin walks you through a lot of the historical science of autism and then her questions and theories are the same ones that jumped out at me as I was reading it... then she dives into more research that she has uncovered in trying to answer those questions. We don't know enough about autism today and even if you don't know someone with autism, what I thought was so fascinating is learning more about how the brain works & why we all have different strengths & weaknesses. If we figure out more about autism it will undoubtedly shed a lot of light on the rest of us with the 'average' ho-hum brains! I will re-read this one again - High recommend! Great book and well written. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Cory Johnson -- First class account of life on the spectrum : When I began reading this book I wasn't sure it would have much application to me as an educator of children with autism, but boy was I wrong! This book is a must-read for those who have loved ones on the spectrum or who are, themselves, on the spectrum. Temple opened my mind to new ways to teach my kiddos by focusing on their individual strengths. I even had the honor of meeting her at a book signing in my city recently.

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Sharon Robideaux -- Amazung insight : I have but one real quibble about the book--how easily Grandin dismisses the behavioral challenges of autism. It is not truly as easy as "learn to behave." She herself was fortunate enough to have an involved parent with resources above and beyond what others might have. Her mother could display the behavior she wanted Temple to emulate. That is simply not the case for far too many. ( Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2020 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from 3D2 -- Authentic. : So, labelled as thick at school. No friends. Bullied mercilessly , left at the back of the class{ no good , couldnt see the blackboard}pulled out of school at 14, various jobs , one of which was high profile , I find out ,in my 60's that I'm autistic. Is there help ? ; in short no.( you've coped so far! } So off to Amazon and find a book that brings it all to life. Still feel bad , but at least now with some understanding of why things didnt work out and why some things did, against all odds. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2020 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Michael S -- Wanting to Understand as a Therapist : I am a psychotherapist and I sometimes work with clients with high performing autism. This book helped me to think about how relate to clients on the autistic spectrum and how to engage in a positive and non-judgemental way. I would recommend it to other therapists.

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Ringo -- Interesting read : I enjoyed the book and I think it had some important insights. The only thing I'd say is the focus is on higher functioning autistics. My son is only 3 so I don't know really how he will develop over time but this book would have limited interest for a parent of a non-verbal autistic that is possibly lower functioning.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from HLeuschel -- Fabulous read! : This book is a delight from start to finish. It doesn't only mention all you need to know about autism but challenges preconceptions and the dangers of labeling but also gives sound advice about how to see the disorder in a positive light. Tenple Grandin is an inspiration to all of us whether autistic or not as she emphasizes the fact that we should look at the talents and abilities in a person and nurture them rather than insist on deficits. She also suggests that today's education system is too unilateral in that it favors the 'word-fact thinkers', leaving so many people feeling they don't fit into the mould. Her idea is that there are more than one way to think: in picture, in words and in patterns, which challenges IQ tests and the way we teach children in school and raise them at home. It's a thought-provoking read which was very well written and I will recommend it to anyone who is interested in knowing more about the diversity of brains and their individual thinking processes. Fabulous read! ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2020 )
