Dr. Temple Grandin gets to the real issues of autism, the ones parents, teachers, and individuals on the spectrum face every day.

This revised and expanded edition of The Way I See It contains 32 new subjects based on the most current autism research, including:

• Understanding the mind of a nonverbal person with autism
• Finding mentors and appropriate colleges
• Teachable moments give the child time to respond
• And more!

Eye-opener.

It was like finding the final piece to a puzzle I've been trying to solve my entire life.

What an amazing lady

Temple Grandin in an amazing lady with a perspective of an autistic person who can give others not on the Spectrum ideas of how better to assist their family members who are on the Spectrum! Her passion is obvious and her information is very detailed and specific, sometimes it's hard to follow, but the ideas are so totally worth learning!!! I've got so many ideas for my son's upcoming IPP, i can't wait to share and see what the team has to say about my new ideas! Thank you.

Very inspiring

it's great to hear that there are ways to help children on the spectrum, this book talks about many subjects revolving ASD which I found very encouraging

Just impeccable!

I absolutely love every bit of this book. Her voice is so articulate and clear, and easy to listen to. I bought this book to better understand my boyfriend and his talents and the way he is uniquely different. I also feel better equipped when I meet someone who is non-verbal. I’m fascinated and feel so empowered when reading this book.
