Yeah, when I first heard that Temple Grandin designed slaughter houses I was surprised. For one thing I have not met many people with autism and I did not realize how far you could go with a condition like this to manage. Also, I was confused why someone who is intersted in the humane treatment of animals would help design a more efficient way to put them in the wonderful flash frozen form that many of us lug home in grocery bags. Then I read the whole page and felt like a heal. Who am I to assume that my abilities are better then someone elses? Who knows, maybe the clarity of thinking in pictures would be a blessing. This form of clarity may eliminate some of the details in life that we spend time worrying about even though they don't matter.
