Episode notes

This chapter of the podcast episode discusses Temple Grandin's life and her work with animals. It highlights how she overcame the challenges of being autistic and how she developed her interest in understanding the inner lives of animals. It also mentions her inventions, such as the squeeze machine, which helps ease anxiety.

Temple Grandin didn’t develop speech until much later than most children, and she might have led a much different life if it hadn’t been for people who worked very hard to open up a space for her to thrive. In this episode we discuss all that as well as her latest book, Visual Thinking, about three distinct ways that human brains create human minds to make sense of the world outside of their skulls.
