In spite of it appearance, this is not an advert. The book does have a cat-chy title and it did cat-ch my eye, and covers a subject close to my heart, Aspergers Syndrome. I recall the author Peter Ransley writing about me being fiercely independent. So, perhaps there is something in this.

'There is a great deal of truth in humour. If you have only just begun to discover why someone with Asperger's syndrome is different, this book will inform and entertain you. The descriptions provide an accurate balance between the qualities and difficulties associated with Asperger's syndrome, while the photographs will make the journey of discovery enjoyable and remarkable.'
- Tony Attwood, author of Asperger's Syndrome and The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
'The one thing I notice most about cats, and respect them for, is their independence. It's a funny thing because this is also what I notice about my Aspie friends. In fact, I see this in my own life as well. It's a unique quality that sets us apart from most other humans. Just like cats are not like dogs. I mean we wouldn't want them to be, would we? Kathy's humorous book that highlights the unique qualities of individuals with Asperger's has us "down to a T".'
- Wendy Lawson, author of many books on the autism spectrum
All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome takes a playful look at Asperger Syndrome (AS), drawing inspiration from the feline world in a way that will strike a chord with all those who are familiar with AS.
Delightful colour photographs of cats bring to life familiar characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first sign of being stroked, and particular eating habits.
Touching, humorous and insightful, this book evokes the difficulties and joys of raising a child who is different and leaves the reader with a sense of the dignity, individuality, and potential of people with AS.
This engaging book is an ideal, gentle introduction to the world of AS.

It is a proven fact that one cannot educate some sort of people. I have evidence that a small percentage of the population actually take umbridge at such a disability and other kinds of disability. Much like the Nazis did in the last world war to my own family. I pity their ignorance, it is indeed a shame that they have so little capability to understand someone who is different to themselves.
Previously, I have had to delete comments that refer to me as a freak. As far as I am concerned, I am just different.
