David Bellamy?

(Reminds me of a Goodies episode where they were all rabbits, and Bellamy the bunny got exploded when investigating an exploding carrot)

Lovely guess Krayy but no cigar.

This is a rare person who, dispite the disorder, has unique insight and is able to teach new perceptions.

Dr Stephen Hawkings?

**Winston001** · 13th January 2009, 20:49

Good guess but no.

This person visited NZ in June 2007 to support mental health. They are also known for inventing a special type of box.

Philip Nitschke (or Jack Kavorkian) ??

That way, all the depressed people could top themselves

Ahhh....No. With a mind like a grand temple, nevertheless this person was nearly institutionalised as a young child in the early 1950s.

YES! We have a winner. Dr Temple Grandin of Colorado has written over 300 articles on autism and is a specialist on animal perceptions. Her work has lead to animal friendly stock yards being designed all over the world.

Temple Grandin's brain sees in images rather than logical jumps like the rest of us. She has described her connection to other people as being like an anthropoligist on Mars - she struggles to perceive and understand the emotions of ordinary people.

She invented a "hug box" for autistic people. Such people do not like being hugged or touched and this device gives them comfort. Her visit in 2007 was to support Autism NZ and give some lectures.
