Fascinating. Temple Grandin wrote a book called Thinking in Pictures. She is an autistic who specializes in animal husbandry. She describes with incredible clarity the way an autistic person thinks--in pictures. An amazing lady who can see the way the cow sees the world, and thus developed devices for ranchers to help calm and control the cows. Also memorable was the stanchion she uses to calm herself.

I recall having seen a piece of television reportage on her. I must try to get a look at her book.
