Cats & Asperger Syndrome

Joanna told me about this book, and I'm so glad I got a chance to read it a few weeks ago. It's called All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome. Less than 70 pages, with few words, lots of cute pictures (if you like cats), and plenty of thoughts to ponder. Here are some tidbits:

• "He likes to be near those he loves, but doesn't want them to hold him."
• "Loud sounds and sudden movements may scare him."
• "He's often fussy about what he eats."
• "He can do the same thing over and over again, without getting bored."

And my favorite:

• "Don't forget, everyone is different in his own way and there is a little bit of Asperger in us all."

If you know anyone (adult or child) who has autism spectrum disorder, this book is a must buy.
