Blue Ray: the ability to articulate, communicate, and comprehend

[Melissa]

I THINK IN PICTURES. Words are like a second language to me. I translate both spoken and written words into full-color movies, complete with sound, which run like a VCR tape in my head. When somebody speaks to me, his words are instantly translated into pictures. Language-based thinkers often find this phenomenon difficult to understand, but in my job as an equipment designer for the livestock industry, visual thinking is a tremendous advantage. -Dr. Temple Grandin-

When I saw the movie about her life I could relate so strongly to her way of thinking, it had never occurred to me that people have different ways of thinking. And I've always felt there's a huge gap between what's going on in my mind and the words that eventually roll out of my mouth. I think it's one of the reasons I'm an introvert.
