You must have missed it.

She's a brain firstly and she's autistic.
Has a very practical useful view of life and
approach to education.

Thanks for posting this. She provides a key to the door of Autism, and certainly made my day!

Very interesting and it makes complete sense to me having worked with horses most of my life. I'm also inclined to visually analyse things like that too. I think it comes from years of spotting things that will alarm a horse, before they do! Or maybe I was just made that way. I can't do more than very basic maths, but I can draw a bit and mend stuff that other people wouldn't tackle. At school I was taught to cook and sew as it was assumed I was a bit of a thicky. I prefer to live in the middle of nowhere (am probably not very social at all). I've known for a long time that I think a bit differently from other people but have become more sociable with practice. Thanks for sharing.
