Description
Temple Grandin explores the similarities between animals and individuals with Autism in this funny, insightful book. Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior examines how animals learn, think, and communicate with the world around them, from a cow licking a tractor to why dolphins kill for fun to how to teach your parrot to spell. Dr. Grandin draws on both her experience as an animal scientist and as an individual with Autism to provide her own unique perspective, arguing that animals and autistic individuals interpret the world in similar fashions and pay attention to details that ordinary people are unable to notice.
