I rented this book thinking I was going to learn about autism. The book is mostly about animal behavior and the parallels that exist in human brains, not just autistic ones. This is an EXCELLENT book. I highly recommend it for kids in middle school on up to adults. Beyond the great subject matter, this book is proof that difficult scientific concepts can be delivered to the general public in a way that is incredibly interesting and informative.
I found this book fascinating. It provides incredible insights into animal behavior, historically wrong assumptions that have been made in animal research, and a look at the world from the view of an autistic person. I would highly recommend it. When I received it, I thought "how could there possible be enough information to fill up 10 disks?" There is enough information and it was interesting listening. I look at the world, animals and autistic people a bit differently now.
I thought this was a highly informative book. It did tend to repeat it self at times, but that was ok, as it refreshed the information in my mind as it was a long book. I would recomend this book to anyone that loves animals and wants to know more about how they think.
