The Hidden Gifts of Visual Thinkers with Temple Grandin

Online Event

Join us for a special event with Temple Grandin, one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism.

Temple Grandin has been at the forefront of research and activism for autism and neurodiversity for decades.

Her memoir, Emergence: Labeled Autistic, was published in 1986 and she has continued to write about autism and neurodivergence over the decades. Her most recent book is Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions. In addition to her work on neurodivergence, her research and understanding of animal behavior spearheaded reform in the quality of life for agricultural animals worldwide.

This event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering high-quality events.
