He was so big he could eat off the kitchen table with four paws on the floor, and he did so…

(xviii) Grandin's writings offers readers a rare and luminously clear account of her internal world. Her mind seems to function in distinctly different ways than those of non-autistics, and these differences are both…

Languages It is not known what language the Olmec people spoke, however there are many hypotheses about the language. One of these suggestions is that they spoke to proto-Maya type of language that was common in the area at the time. Jacques Soustelle suggested that the Olmecs possibly spoke a combination of the Huastecs and the Maya languages (Soustelle, 1979), while Jimenez Moreno believed that the Olmecs were related to the Maya and that they spoke a version of the Zapotecs language (Bernal,…
