Temple Grandin: A Key to Animal Behavior
http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=4278538&sourceCode=RSS
Temple Grandin is one of the nation's top designers of livestock facilities. She is also autistic. In her 1995 book Thinking in Pictures, she described how her inner-autistic world led her to develop an empathy for how animals cope. Grandin is currently an assistant professor of animal sciences at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Her new book is Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior.

This woman has done more to improve the conditions for factory-farmed mammals than any of the animal rights groups with whom I used to demonstrate and to whom I used to/some I still do donate to. I can't wait to read this book. She's speaking locally soon; must look up date/location and go.
