Visual Thinking

The content appears to be good based on first 20 pages but being a visual person and an autistic, to me it was just too complicated to read. Almost every para has a name of some scientist who did so and so study which really takes away the attention from the flow of a discussion. If you’re prone to attention switching issues in the mind, this names of scientists alone with examples of experiments without a context would be a real hard read as it distracts from the essence of what we’re reading in the moment. I just couldn’t bear up reading beyond twenty pages. It’s all scattered information and you need to write summaries alongside and organise information yourself in a note. Boring, clumsy and disorganised but very useful information. Not recommended for an autistic audience.

Temple Grandin is correct concerning the education of children in our American Schools. Temple Grandson addresses how children may be verbal thinkers or visual thinkers. The verbal thinkers are supported due to curriculum based norms for schools requirements. The visual thinkers are not recognized for their talents and skills by school institutions because they do not fit the schools norms. Parent’s this book explores the differences of learning and ways to help children who are visual thinkers. I would highly recommend this book.

I truly recognize in myself as being a visual learner. I never knew it as such, and it now makes sense why algebra made no sense to me.

A truly surprising book, along with updated knowledge about autism, a first-person experience, with immense reflection and excellently written.

Ironically, a book written to promote the plight of visual learners with no images whatsoever. Perhaps the author was telling us something.. ?

Weinig zinvol. Onsamenhangend, semi autobiografisch.
