Reflecting on How to Think like an Animal

Hi Gail,
After reading "How to Think like an Animal", it gave me a little bit of insight on autistic people. I couldn't imagine how autistic people are very sensitive to things. I was amazed by the author's story and that she designed a chute system for handling cattle in slaughter plants. I had an experience of babysitting an autistic child and as he was sitting there, I sat with him to comfort him because I felt pity for him. As I held him he snapped at me and when in the book to them is nerve wrecking, while for us, it would be comforting. That was my first experience with an autistic child and I told my friend I didn't understand why he snapped at me the way he did, but after reading this piece of article, I understood why. It was very intresting to read . That's it for now.
