Animals in Translation is an amazing book. This book states that by looking at human autism, we can better under animals,
the way they think, the way they behave, and how they see the world. The author is an animal scientist who works primarily with slaughter houses. She is also
autistic. Before reading this book, I had very little comprehension about the way that autistic people see the world. I simply had no idea that seeing the world in a visual way was that much
different than the way that I think. I now see that this different way of thinking has a lot of really interesting benefits, particularly when it comes to understanding other visual thinkers like the animals around us. As I read this book, I started to comprehend how much detail in life we normally ignore. So much of what we need to understand animals is simply looking at life from their perspective, both literally and figuratively speaking.
