Besprekingen

Interessant boek over de overeenkomsten in waarneming tussen autistische mensen en dieren. De auteur is zelf autistisch en afgestudeerd in de dierwetenschappen.
(ze beschrijft zichzelf in het boek "Een antropoloog op Mars van Oliver Sacks).
Het boek is hier en daar wat wijdlopig met veel voorbeelden maar desalnietemin erg de moeite waard voor wie zich interesseert in het onderwerp dierengedrag en/of autisme. Het leest heel makkelijk
