Is it true that people with autism think more like animals?
Temple Grandin did say most autistic individuals think more like animals than like people. Animals (like dogs, horses) have sensitive hearing, same as other autistic individuals. And most animals don't make eye contact and it's the same way with people with autism. Some animals will try to run away or be violent if being touched suddenly which is the same with autistic individuals also. Touching is a sensory issue. Animals prefer their own space and don't like being involved in crowded areas same as autistic individuals.
