In the beloved classic book The Way I See It, Dr. Temple Grandin gets to the real issues of autism — the ones parents, teachers, and individuals on the spectrum face every day. In this updated and expanded fifth edition, Temple offers helpful dos and don’ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips all based on her insider perspective and a great deal of research.

Revised and updated chapters include:

  • Alternative vs. conventional medicine
  • Do not get trapped by labels.
  • The importance of early educational intervention
  • Too much video gaming and screen time
  • Try on careers
  • And many more!

Temple has packed a wealth of knowledge into this book, which serves as an excellent reference resource for a multitude of topics related to ASD. Whether you’re searching for something specific or listening from beginning to end, The Way I See It is required listening for everyone whose life has been touched by autism.

The reader did a great job. But there needed to be more editing done to clean it up.

This is a truly excellent and well written, well edited book. The audio book is also well recorded, but it is full of audio editing errors like sniffles and backtracks to correct a reading error—clearly nobody did basic exiting. Still worth buying, though!

Excellent book, but audio version needs basic editing

As a professional Orator I felt I had to offer one piece of advice to fine tune the presentation which is... please have someone go through the entire read and makethe the small edits that should have been made in the final mixdown and read through. There are a great number of vocal retakes left in (including throat clearing,rereads, etc) that are a bit distracting. Overall the book is great with very interesting content, a solid well done and appropriate read and contains very important information to a lot of people. I would absolutely recommend! Great job overall.

Well Done

I would really have enjoyed this more if Temple herself had narrated it. The lady narrating, while a good speaker, is abrasive for me to listen to. Shes a bit droning in her approach. I’m sure it’s my own neurodivergence.

I love Temple

Background about me: 35 year old male who just discovered a hidden (from me) autism diagnosis.

There are massive generalizations in this book based upon the author's experiences that are not applicable to many, if not most autistic people. Coupled with the author's endorsement of a "therapy" that is often used to justify punitive applications of electrical shock to children for behaviors that they may not be in full control of, I honestly can not recommend this book.

There are a few bits of good advice that may be applicable mixed in with the problematic content, but I just can't stand to listen to the sweeping generalizations that make it sound to someone who has never met a functioning autistic person that I wouldn't be able to tie my shoes without some nanny standing over me for seven hours a day to get it right.

Generalized to absurdity
