Just a few weeks old, Dasha the cat found herself in a family with
an autistic child. The publication of Temple Grandin's book Animals
in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal
Behaviour turned the household into a research laboratory, with the
humans observing Dasha's behaviours and the cat experimenting with
the 'human guinea pigs'. The feline perspective provides a new
outlook on autism conditions, challenging long established
stereotypes and analysing controversies in the field with an
unbiased attitude and humour. The text is interspersed with Dasha's
'wisdoms', 'research notes' and definitions of concepts based on
her own understanding, such as 'A pet shop is a place where humans
come to be adopted by the animals who are brave enough to take a
responsibility of looking after them.' Dasha's Journal provides
research-based information in an amusing and accessible form and
makes serious and complicated issues such as sensory perception,
memory, communication, savant skills and challenging behaviours in
autism easily understandable for the general reader.
