Autism' is beautifully articulated and illustrated by our feline associates. 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. It's a humorous account of a serious love affair! Now that I have known Kathy’s Cat Book for many years and have put many hours of work into translating the new edition, the question is: Have I grown tired of reading it? My main complaint is that it doesn't take into account differences between different individuals with Aspergers. It over generalizes. For instance it states he doesn't want loved ones to hold him. That may be true for some individuals, but their are many children with AS who really really love to be held, who are actually clingier than most children. thoughts on “ Cats and Dogs — Understanding Autism Spectrum and ADHD with Kathy Hoopmann –#readilearn”

This is a fabulous concept for a book, and in execution it's cute a lot of the time. Maybe even most of the time. But some of the humor comes off as trying a little bit too hard, stretching a little too much. The text could stand to be a little less clinical and a little more whimsical (to match the kitty-cat theme) and, if handled skillfully, would not lose any of its truthfulness... and would actually wind up being much more memorable.Hoopman has also stated that in 2006, most people who were diagnosed with autism were male, which is why All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome only uses male pronouns. Since then, more females have been diagnosed, hence why All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum uses gender-neutral pronouns instead of male pronouns.

I only partly agree, because while those signs might exist at an early age, they are often not recognized! There are many people who only discover their AS as adults.

All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum (Hardback) - Waterstones

Released Aug 2020, Kathy Hoopmann’s new edition of All Dogs Have ADHD is updated with all new images and language that reflects a modern understanding of ADHD. Although people with autism don’t have meltdowns on purpose, they can’t control them and feel terrible about them afterwards. Their strengths and challenges representing “tangles of colour, each a little different from the next.” Towards the end of All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome, one sentence says, “there is a little bit of Asperger’s in us all.” While Hoopman thought this statement was empathetic in 2006, many people have since found it incorrect and “insulting to those on the spectrum as it belittles the very real challenges they face daily.” All Cats are on the Autism Spectrum and All Dogs have ADHD are updated versions of Kathy’s previously published and successful books All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome and All Dogs Have ADHD. Kathy explains her reasons for updating them.This book is an updated version of the author’s 2006 All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome and since then what is considered acceptable terminology has changed and the author says in her note for this edition that people’s views are not all the same and that she hopes ‘readers will see past the finer details of disagreement and join me in celebrating, and deepening our understanding of, the richness and diversity of the autistic community.’ You can’t say fairer than that.

Book Review: All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum

People with autism can stay awake at night and wonder “what they did wrong and what they could have done differently.”Over the years, I have recommended the book to a lot of people and have time and time again experienced that both children and adults on the spectrum and their families have shown the same enthusiasm for it. That is really the best recommendation a book can get. I am so incredibly happy that I have been given the opportunity to translate this new edition into Danish. Their abilities and preferences “can change from hour to hour, day to day, depending on moods, foods, and even the weather.” I can’t wait to get these books! My 11-year-old grandson has ADHD – and two dogs at home. Sounds like he’ll love this. ox Delightful colour photographs of cats bring to life familiar characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first sign of being stroked, and particular eating habits. I am really looking forward to using the book in my work as an autism advocate and give it my warmest recommendations.
