Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when all minds are put to use. 

What’s the difference between object visualizers and visual-spatial thinkers? And how can these two kinds of brains work together?

In this episode, Dr. Temple Grandin discusses these and other topics featured in her book Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions

This episode is part one of our conversation with Dr. Temple Grandin, which was originally released on December 15, 2022. 

Dr. Temple Grandin is well known for both her pioneer work as an autism advocate and her lifelong dedication to animal welfare. Through groundbreaking research aimed at understanding her own autistic mind, and by being one of the first adults to publicly disclose that she was autistic, Dr. Grandin propelled the awareness of autism during a time when very little was known of it. She is an incredible source of hope for children with autism, their parents, and anyone with a dream.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • Object visualizers vs visual-spatial thinkers
  • Temple’s ability to think in pictures
  • The importance of hands-on learning
  • How to screen for visual thinkers at school
  • The need for skilled workers
  • How complementary thinking styles can work together
  • How to improve the school system and properly educate different kinds of thinkers
