I have 2 autistic kiddos and have read several of Temple Grandin's books...fascinating outlook she has, much different than the normal person's way of processing information. One thing she notices is details...eg: cows wouldn't go up a particular chute because there was a coathook on a wall, and if a coat was there, it disturbed them. Most "neurotypical" people see the tree, autistic people see the leaves, each and every one of them, and may never notice that there is even a tree at all.

My wife says that the apples don't fall far from the tree, and I see some autistic tendencies in myself, so I have some understanding of what TG's life is like.
