The first half of the book is interesting enough. Grandin mentions a lot of recent ASD research and shares information on the biology of ASD. After the first half she comes to her own opinions and either keeps on gabbing about her different sorts of intelligence and about how ASD people should behave. To me this seems the very opposite of what I would advise and it seems very unhealthy and badly reasoned. (Grandin finds frustration preferable to anger. I don't necessarily agree, for example). I skipped large parts and was very surprised to read her (in my opinion) unhealthy advice. Maybe Grandin should stick to cattle rather than people in this matter. This was the first and will be the last book of her that I read.
