Visual thinking is a very interesting topic and it applies to more than just people with autism. Many people who are not on the autism spectrum also think visually.in fact, 65% of people are visual learners.  Visual thinking does not always mean real pictures or real things. Sometimes the "visualization" is a made up figure that helps someone who thinks visually connect different ideas together. One of the reasons visual thinking is widespread is many people can be helpful is that the brain processes visual data 60,000 faster than textual data. ACRL is a organization that helps kids with education who are visual learners by providing pictures and other types of visual media on tests and other assessments in higher education.

"Autism... offers a chance for us to glimpse an awe-filled vision of the world that might otherwise pass us by."-Dr. Colin Zimbleman, Ph.D.

Without Autism in the world we would miss another point of view that is expressed through what they see and how they act. Part of the reason that they see the world differently is because they think differently and one division of that thinking is visual thinking or seeing the world in pictures.

Literature is important for giving autism a voice because when autistic people write books they make it easier for other people to see how they think and process the outside or "normal". It also allows them to describe visual images that sometimes normal authors cant describe in detail.
