Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior by Temple Grandin

2.0

The reactions to the book were mixed. A lot of facts - a deluge of details. Too much maybe. Or maybe welcome information. Repetitive, and not terribly well organized. Which may just be a side affect of Grandin's autism. Shama, who works with autistic kids, marveled that Grandin was articulate enough to write as well as she did. But then, it's now recognized that autism is a full spectrum, and the high-functioning members would be indistinguishable from neurotypical people. (And conversely, "normal" people would have aspects of autism.)
