"Animals in Translation" is a popular book written by a lady diagnosed with Autism, Temple Grandin
This is the third book by the remarkable Temple Grandin. She was identified as having "classic autism" when she was still a toddler but that hasn't stopped her from becoming the world's leading expert in understanding the way animals think...in fact, she says it's the autism that allows her to understand animals' brains.
In the CBC program Hot Type's mesmerizing interview with Temple Grandin she tells host Evan Solomon that she would rather be lying in a field surrounded by cattle than stuck in a chair talking to him about social things like love. For her, love is a red truck. But it is her bluntness that proves charming in this amazing woman as Evan discovers as he gets closer to understanding not only the way animals think but the unique and refreshing way Temple Grandin sees the world.
