Thinking the Way Animals Do
By Temple Grandin, Ph.D. Department of Animal Science Colorado State University Western Horseman, Nov. 1997, pp.140-145 (Updated January 2015) Temple Grandin is an assistant professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She is the author of the book Thinking in Pictures. As a person with autism, it is easy for me to understand how animals think because my thinking processes are like an animal's. I have no language-based thoughts at all. Most people use a combination of both verbal and visual skills. A radio station person I talked to once said that she had no pictures at all in her mind. Associative Thinking A horse trainer once said to me, "Animals don't think, they just make associations." Animals also tend to make place-specific associations. Years ago a scientist named N. Fear Is the Main Emotion Fear is the main emotion in autism and it is also the main emotion in prey animals such as horses and cattle. Fear-based behaviors are complex.

From The Hundred Acre Wood To Midtown
To see one of the most important exhibits at the New York Public Library, skip the main entrance… …and take the far-less trafficked 42nd Street door: Once past the metal detector, hang a right down the first corridor… …and continue on into the Children’s Center. See that wooden partition in the center of the center of the room? …and you’ll find the New York home of Winnie the Pooh (yes, the actual Winnie the Pooh!) I first wrote about the Winnie the Pooh exhibit in 2009, shortly after the beloved stuffed animals had been moved from their former home at the Donnell Library Center to the main branch of the NYPL. I’d completely forgotten about the post until a month when, out of the blue, author Neil Gaiman linked to it on his Twitter asking “Is the Winnie the Pooh room at the library still this sad?” So in the interest of setting the record straight, I wanted to revisit Pooh’s home in New York City. The star of the show is of course, Winnie The Pooh… In the mid-1920′s, A. …Tigger! …and Kanga!
The Country of the Blind by H.G. Wells
Three hundred miles and more from Chimborazo, one hundred from the snows of Cotopaxi, in the wildest wastes of Ecuador's Andes, there lies that mysterious mountain valley, cut off from all the world of men, the Country of the Blind. Long years ago that valley lay so far open to the world that men might come at last through frightful gorges and over an icy pass into its equable meadows, and thither indeed men came, a family or so of Peruvian half-breeds fleeing from the lust and tyranny of an evil Spanish ruler. Then came the stupendous outbreak of Mindobamba, when it was night in Quito for seventeen days, and the water was boiling at Yaguachi and all the fish floating dying even as far as Guayaquil; everywhere along the Pacific slopes there were land-slips and swift thawings and sudden floods, and one whole side of the old Arauca crest slipped and came down in thunder, and cut off the Country of the Blind for ever from the exploring feet of men. And the man who fell survived. "Sight?"
