What is the nature of deafblind people's and animals' thoughts?
Mz: Not all people think the way you do.  I've spent a lot of time learning about the different ways different people think and learn in order to effectively cope with the needs of my sons.  My oldest son thinks in pictures (like Temple Grandin, who wrote the book 'Thinking in Pictures').  He's been very interesting to raise and live with.  He sometimes makes mistakes similar to a non-native speaker because anything he thinks has to be translated into English before he can express it and anything he hears has to be translated into pictures for him to understand it. I have learned to speak in a very imagery-rich manner because it is a more effective means to communicate with him. It turns out to be a fairly powerful means to communicate with most people.EDIT:  He's not deaf-blind but he does have serious eyesight issues and auditory processing problems.
