Temple Grandin shares with the reader a lot about her autistic brain, life in relation to this, and what she does to promote research about being on the spectrum. Included in this book are research studies and how they show the differences in people's relationships with their world and how they react to their world. Toward the end of the book stories about different people and how they cope and manage in life are shared. As these topics are unveiled woven into them are bits and pieces relevant to Temple Grandin's life. The reader is introduced to the world as people on the spectrum experience it. Some parts of the book explain tests and how these tests help researchers understand people who are on various sections of the spectrum scale.

This book gives detailed information that will help a lot of people understand people who live on the spectrum scale. It also gives detailed information about the different types of thinkers and how they think and relate to things and events.

I liked the stories of people near the end of the book, learning about the different types of thinking processes, and in general learning about being on the spectrum.

The part of the book discussing the testing processes and tests was slightly difficult to focus on as I read this information.

After finishing this book I wanted to read more of Temple Grandin's books.

I felt as if I knew how to better relate to someone who is on the spectrum.

The bulk of this book is an adventure into a world that I didn't understand until Temple Grandin wrote about it.

Any reader who wants to know more about the details of the world of people on the spectrum will devour this book. It is a good resource for anyone who is closely involved with people who live on the spectrum.

For me, the parts about the testing were challenging to focus on and fully understand.

I'm very glad I read this book because I understand how to better how to interact with someone living on the spectrum. Hopefully, I will be more helpful than harmful as I get to know them.
