Just a few weeks old, Dasha the cat found herself in a family with an autistic child. The publication of Temple Grandin's book 'Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behaviour' turned the household into a research laboratory, with the humans observing Dasha's behaviours and the cat experimenting with the 'human guinea pigs' The feline perspective provides a new outlook on autism conditions, challenging long established stereotypes and analysing controversies in the field with an unbiased attitude and humour.
