Abstract	Temple Grandin, a university professor and award-winning livestock designer with autism, describes how thinking, for her, means processing a series of photorealistic mental images. Thinking in pictures, according to Grandin, is the only possible mode of thinking for many autistic people: Others think with sound patterns, visual patterns, or long lists of facts. Grandin offers teachers suggestions, based on her own experiences struggling through school and her observations of others, for drawing on autistic students' strengths--strengths that are tied to autism and are often seen as drawbacks, such as Grandin's own early obsession with livestock architecture. She gives tips for accommodating differences in autistic thinking or sensitivities that threaten school success. (Author).
