Many instances in the book recount her work on cattle farms and how she sees images in her mind of prototypes of machines and edits them before building even occurs. Though Grandin sees the world differently than most, her firm belief on being "different, but not less" and daily intent of self-preservation manifest clearly throughout her writing. The title, Thinking in Pictures, comes from Grandin's analogy of her method of thought processing she states that words come as a second language to her. Grandin is often labeled as having "high functioning" autism having published literary works and academic articles in addition to working as a professor and lecturer of animal science. First published in 1995, it documents much of her life with autism. Thinking in Pictures is a psychologically-focused autobiography written and largely edited by Temple Grandin.
