Books
	Animals in Translation : Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior People who aren't autistic always ask me about the moment I realized I could understand the way animals think. They think I must have had an epiphany. But it wasn't like that.
	Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism I think in pictures. Words are like a second language to me. I translate both spoken and written words into full-color movies, complete with sound, which run like a VCR tape in my head.
