Book Synopsis

For the first time ever renowned economist and coauthor of one of the world’s most influential economic blogs, Tyler Cowen, sits down with best-selling author and autism advocate Temple Grandin for a lively in-depth exploration of the value of autism in the modern world.

Just as he does in his book Create Your Own Economy, Cowen argues that individuals on the autism spectrum are integral to the world’s many faceted economy; they create all kinds of value in financial, intellectual, cultural and even political markets. Their talents regarding the organization of information are of critical value now, and they are talents we all share to some extent. Cowen and Grandin discuss the nature of autistic thinking, the historical, future and global contributions it can make, as well as the damage done by the stigma currently associated with the autistic label. Valuing the unique and specialized autistic cognitive abilities of each member of society--understanding how we think differently--is the key to the unimaginable prosperity the modern world has yet to offer.

Mrs. Temple Gradin [Sp?] has been Given the wonderfully complex insights into the psychology of the inner inner workings, and, inner-reactions, of both Homo Sapiens and other animals that God has blessed us with the care of. Be sure to read her books and see the movie about her life so far. Maybe then YOU can join the ranks of those of us that acknowledge that ALL lives have the POTENTIAL to be of utmost value to THEMSELVES AND THE REST OF US! Thank you Lord our God for helping her with the strength and knowledge you have given her. Through Your Son and Our Savior, Jesus the Christ i pray, Amen.
