Autism Video
This is a good video talking about autism. The people involved are very knowledgeable about the subject.
Temple Grandin
Temple Grandin is a wonderful example of someone who conquered her disability. She is a professor at Colorado State University. She has many different inventions in the agriculture world.
Temple Grandin Speaking
This is a great video of Temple Grandin. She speaks a lot about her autism and how she has conquered it.
Australopithecus afarensis
This is a great video in the historical side of the fossils known as Lucy. Great thing to check out to understand what Vivian does and how she might think certain ways.
Suspension Bridge
In the play, Lucy's favorite book is about suspension bridges. Children with autism are usually very visually stimulated. With photos like these, it would be hard for Lucy NOT to be visually stimulated!
Cave paintings
Lucy sees pictures of cave paintings in one of Vivian's books. Near the end of the play Lucy has decided that Vivian's walls need some cave paintings as well.
Wall Painting
Lucy paints on Vivian's walls in act II. What did she paint? It is described as very colorful. This image popped out to me as something similar as to what Lucy would paint.
Facial Recognition Chart
Dr. Morris uses one of these with Lucy to begin to help her learn how to communicate with other people about how she is feeling at certain moments in time.
Vivian's Home
Vivian's home is described as very sparsely decorated and very bare. I feel like this photo gives a good representation.
Autism Puzzle Piece
Those words are a great way to sum up how Lucy thinks. With Lucy's monologues, we see that things really do make sense to her, even if she can't make sense to other people.
