"I am reading Dasha's Journal: A Cat Reflects on Life,
Catness and Autism by T. O. Daria (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2008). 
It's a brilliantly quirky little book with some of the finest and most
scholarly insights I've seen into autism-spectrum conditions, although using a cat as narrator/researcher may be a genre mix too far for the academic readership it deserves."
