I was 13 years old when my mom brought All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome home from an autism conference. With these things in mind, I took the opportunity to freshen up the entire books and revitalized them with all new images as well. Apart from the change in the diagnostic terms used, other changes were occurring in the autism community.

All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum - Hachette UK

The book begins by showing a sleeping kitty and telling how the first signs of Aspergers are usually picked up very young. To conclude everything, cats act like autistic but it is not necessarily because of the changes or abnormalities in the behavior of your feline. Smiles from the book’s feline friends were contagious within my house; my mom and dad shared the magic of cats on the autism spectrum with me. All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum is like receiving a hug from a lifelong friend you haven’t seen in a while. This book captures our spirit, highlights our individuality, easily explains in an image, so many of our playful and meaningful behaviours, as well as showcases our strengths.Generally, when a cat grows up she stops playing with the toys, which she used to play with earlier.

But just as cats can be(have) very differently so do people and so do people with Asperger's Syndrome.

It catches the full range of asperger "flavor"-sweet, smart, funny, unique, and, sometimes, painfully poignant. So when it came time to update my book to current terminology and sensitivities, I was faced with a very difficult task to get things right, especially knowing that word usage and correctness changes regularly.
