Temple Grandin Saw the World in PicturesTemple Grandin used her picture-thinking mind to understand animals and design calmer ways to care for them.
1. One bright morning, Temple Grandin stood beside a pasture with a red notebook in her hand. A cow looked at her, and Temple looked back.
2. Temple's mind filled with pictures. She could see a gate, a shiny puddle, or a bright coat in her thoughts as clearly as things in front of her.
3. Temple noticed what the cow noticed. A sudden flap, a hard shadow, or a slippery floor could make a quiet animal stop.
4. At a cattle yard, the cows stopped where sunlight flashed on metal. Temple drew the scene in her notebook.
5. Temple imagined a different path. She placed smooth boards in a gentle curve, so the cows could walk without seeing sudden corners.
6. The first cow stepped into the curved walkway. There was no flashing puddle and no sharp corner, so the cow kept going.
7. Temple tested each part with her picture-thinking mind. She changed the shadows, softened the turns, and made room for quiet.
8. Soon, the cows walked more calmly. The people worked more carefully, too, because they understood what the animals could see and feel.
9. Temple still saw the world in pictures. She used those pictures to understand animals and design calmer ways to care for them.
