"Words are like a second language for me. I translate all words, spoken or witten, into colorful, sound-filled films: they run through my head like video cassettes. When someone speaks to me, the words are immediately transformed into images. Those whose thought is structured in terms of language often have difficulties in understanding this phenomenon, but in my line of work - I create equipment for farm animals - thinking in pictures is a formidable advantage."Halfway between an essay and an authobiographical account, Thinking in Pictures is a study on autistic identity, its lacks, its weaknesses and its strengths. It brings clarity to autistic peoples's unique forms of intelligence, to the emotions they feel, to their visual mnemonics, langauge and social aptitudes, but also to the diagnosis of autism, the latest medical treatments or the most advanced educative methods.A moving and fascinating book building a sort of bridge between these two worlds, which in ordinary times, do not communicate and allowing us to see, from the inside, how a mind very different from our own functions.An exceptionally gifted autistic child and specialist in animal behaviour, Temple Grandin is a professor at the University of Colorado and a world-renowned conceptor of agricultural equipment. She is also the author of Ma vie d'autiste (My Autistic Life) published by Odile Jacob in 1994. / Les mots sont comme une seconde langue pour moi. Je traduis tous les mots, dits ou crits, en films color s et sonoris s; ils d filent dans ma t te comme des cassettes vid o. Lorsque quelqu'un me parle, ses paroles se transforment imm diatement en images. Ceux dont la pens e est structur e en langage ont souvent du mal comprendre ce ph nom ne mais, dans mon m tier, penser en images est un formidable atout." mi chemin entre l'essai et le r cit autobiographique, Penser en images est une tude sur l'identit autistique, sur ses manques, ses faiblesses et ses forces. Il nous claire sur les formes d'intelligence propres aux autistes, sur les motions qu'ils prouvent, sur leurs aptitudes visuelle, mn sique, langagi re ou sociale, mais aussi sur le diagnostic de l'autisme. Ce livre trace une sorte de pont entre deux mondes qui, d'ordinaire, ne communiquent pas et nous permet de voir fonctionner, de l'int rieur, un esprit tr s diff rent du n tre. Autiste surdou e, sp cialiste du comportement animal, Temple Grandin est professeur l'universit du Colorado et conceptrice mondialement reconnue d' quipements agricoles. Elle est aussi l'auteur de Ma vie d'autiste, paru aux ditions Odile Jacob, en 1994."
