  a question for Temple Grandin. We&rsquo\;ll ask a few at the conclusion o
 f the event.</p>\n<p>Visual thinkers see images in their mind&rsquo\;s eye
  &ndash\; they include everyone from the photorealist-inclined &ldquo\;obj
 ect visualizers&rdquo\; with a knack for design and problem solving\, to t
 he more mathematically inclined\, who excel at abstraction\, pattern recog
 nition\, and systemic thinking. Even though visual thinkers constitute a f
 ar greater proportion of the population than previously believed\, we live
  in a language-dominated world that tends to sideline visual thinkers\, sc
 reening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. In the 
 new landmark book Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in
  Pictures\, Patterns\, and Abstractions\, New York Times bestselling autho
 r\, autism activist\, and scientist Temple Grandin\, Ph.D. (FAN &rsquo\;14
 ) explores cutting-edge research to take us inside the world of visual thi
 nking\, reframing the conversation on neurodiversity and showing how neces
 sary different types of thinkers are essential for our collective well-bei
 ng.</p>\n<p>Whether by transforming how we think about autism or through h
 er work on animal behavior\, Dr. Grandin has never stopped following&mdash
 \;and driving&mdash\;the research on what makes minds tick. A professor of
  animal science at Colorado State University and the author of the New Yor
 k Times bestsellers Animals in Translation\, Animals Make Us Human\, and T
 he Autistic Brain\, her bestselling memoir Thinking in Pictures (later tur
 ned into an award-winning biopic staring Claire Danes) broke ground on neu
 rodiversity\, transforming scientific investigation and public understandi
 ng. In Visual Thinking she again leads the way\, distilling the latest res
 earch\, redirecting the conversation\, and showing the path forward in her
  mission to celebrate the different ways our brains are wired\, to advocat
 e for the conditions that will let visual thinkers thrive\, and to recogni
 ze the advantages that follow for us all.</p>\n<p>This event suitable for 
 youth 12+. It will be recorded but not livestreamed and will be available
