Like if I say, "Think about a church steeple"
比如說(shuō)，“請(qǐng)想象一下教堂的石柱”
most people get this sort of generalized generic one.
大多數(shù)人想到的是一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案
Now, maybe that's not true in this room,
也許這個(gè)房間里的人的答案會(huì)很不一樣
but it's going to be true in a lot of different places.
但對(duì)于大多數(shù)的地方來(lái)說(shuō)，這都是適用的
I see only specific pictures.
而我只是注意到某一類(lèi)的圖像
They flash up into my memory, just like Google for pictures.
它們會(huì)飛進(jìn)我的記憶，就像用谷歌搜索圖片一樣快
And in the movie, they've got a great scene in there
形成電影，里面的畫(huà)面還相當(dāng)精彩
where the word "shoe" is said, and a whole bunch of '50s and '60s shoes pop into my imagination.
比如當(dāng)提到“鞋子”這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候，我大腦就馬上會(huì)呈現(xiàn)出一大堆五六十年代的鞋子
OK, there is my childhood church, that's specific. There's some more, Fort Collins.
看，這是我孩子時(shí)代的教堂，在我的記憶里是如此的精確的。還有更多，比如柯林斯戶(hù)城
OK, how about famous ones?
好，那些更為著名的建筑呢？
And they just kind of come up, kind of like this.
它們會(huì)旋即跳到我的腦海，有點(diǎn)像是這個(gè)樣子
Just really quickly, like Google for pictures.
非?？欤袷枪雀鑸D片搜索
And they come up one at a time,
每次是出現(xiàn)一張圖片
and then I think, "OK, well maybe we can have it snow, or we can have a thunderstorm,"
我還會(huì)想，也許還可以是下雪或者是雷暴
and I can hold it there and turn them into videos.
還可以將其定格，變成影片
Now, visual thinking was a tremendous asset in my work designing cattle-handling facilities.
對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)，視覺(jué)思考是一個(gè)巨大的財(cái)富，在設(shè)計(jì)牛群柵欄方面非常有幫助
And I've worked really hard on improving how cattle are treated at the slaughter plant.
我也進(jìn)行了大量的努力去改善牛只在屠宰場(chǎng)的境況
I'm not going to go into any gucky slaughter slides.
這里就不展示那些充滿(mǎn)血腥的屠宰幻燈片了
I've got that stuff up on YouTube if you want to look at it.
在YouTube上面有，要看你們可以自己去看
But, one of the things that I was able to do in my design work
在我的設(shè)計(jì)工作中
is I could actually test run a piece of equipment in my mind,
我可以直接在腦海里測(cè)試某一個(gè)方案，看它是否可行
just like a virtual reality computer system.
跟虛擬的計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)差不多
And this is an aerial view of a recreation of one of my projects that was used in the movie.
這個(gè)是空中的視圖，這是在電影里看到的一個(gè)基于我的項(xiàng)目的再創(chuàng)作
That was like just so super cool.
那真的是非常妙
And there were a lot of kind of Asperger types and autism types working out there on the movie set too.
在電影里還有很多其他的Asperger和各種自閉癥的類(lèi)型，電影里都展現(xiàn)出來(lái)了
But one of the things that really worries me is:
但最為使得我擔(dān)心的是
Where's the younger version of those kids going today?
我們今天把這樣的孩子帶到怎樣的方向
They're not ending up in Silicon Valley, where they belong.
他們現(xiàn)在不是被帶到硅谷那樣的地方——那里才是屬于他們的世界
Now, one of the things I learned very early on because I wasn't that social,
因?yàn)槲也簧跎瞄L(zhǎng)社交，我很早就學(xué)會(huì)的一件事就是
is I had to sell my work, and not myself.
我要學(xué)會(huì)推銷(xiāo)我的書(shū)，而不是我自己
And the way I sold livestock jobs is I showed off my drawings, I showed off pictures of things.
我要獲得牲畜監(jiān)護(hù)的工作，我要把我的畫(huà)畫(huà)給他們看，他們需要看到這些圖像的東西
Another thing that helped me as a little kid is, boy, in the '50s, you were taught manners.
另外我一直為之受用的是，在我小的時(shí)候，我的父母告訴我們，你不能
You were taught you can't pull the merchandise off the shelves in the store and throw it around.
從商店的貨架上拿東西，然后又到處亂放
Now, when kids get to be in third or fourth grade,
當(dāng)我見(jiàn)到三四年級(jí)的學(xué)生時(shí)
you might see that this kid's going to be a visual thinker, drawing in perspective.
我可以看出這些孩子會(huì)成為視覺(jué)思考者，因?yàn)樗麄兌猛敢暤漠?huà)法
Now, I want to emphasize that not every autistic kid is going to be a visual thinker.
好，我還想強(qiáng)調(diào)一點(diǎn)，并非每一個(gè)自閉癥的孩子都是視覺(jué)思考者
Now, I had this brain scan done several years ago,
我?guī)啄昵巴瓿闪诉@份腦電波的視圖
and I used to joke around about having a gigantic Internet trunk line going deep into my visual cortex.
我曾跟別人開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō)，在我的視覺(jué)皮層上有一條很深的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)溝壑
This is tensor imaging.
這是張量成像
And my great big internet trunk line is twice as big as the control's.
從圖上可以看到，我的大腦上的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)溝壑是控制組的兩倍大小
The red lines there are me, and the blue lines are the sex and age-matched control.
紅色的代表我， 藍(lán)色的是跟我同一性別和年齡的對(duì)比測(cè)試結(jié)果
And there I got a gigantic one, and the control over there, the blue one, has got a really small one.
我的是巨大的，相比之下，對(duì)照組的藍(lán)色區(qū)域則相當(dāng)小
And some of the research now is showing is that people on the spectrum actually think with primary visual cortex.
現(xiàn)在有的研究顯示，這一圈的人通常都是用她們的主視覺(jué)皮層來(lái)思考
Now, the thing is, the visual thinker's just one kind of mind.
但事實(shí)上，視覺(jué)思考者僅僅是其中一種的心智模式
