Stone Soup Group Interview with Temple Grandin

Temple Grandin is the author of Thinking In Pictures, originally published in 1995. Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person to give a report from “the country of autism.” Introducing a groundbreaking model which analyzes people based on their patterns of thought, Grandin “charts the differences between her life and the lives of those who think in words” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Stone Soup Group had the pleasure to interview Temple Grandin for our 2025 Parent Conference.
