All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum states that “the first signs of autism are usually picked up very young. Each picture has to be the perfect mix of stunning photography, perfectly matched with the concept I need to portray, and has to have an ‘awww’ factor of 10 out of 10. Interacting socially with other people is very hard for kids who have autism as the way they look at the world and interpret emotions is way different from others.

Fast forward 13 years and although All Dogs Have ADHD was still selling well, the layout was dated and some of the text needing tweaking to represent current views and terminology. Your mileage may vary, but I am still delightfully sharing and spreading the magic of All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum – and hope you do, too. Kathy has an ingenious way of blending the characteristics of beloved kitty cats to showcase the nuances and diversity of people on the autism spectrum. I am very excited, and honoured, that my Danish translator, Anne Skov Jensen has written her own foreword to the Danish version, ‘ Alle katte er på autismespektret’ .

All in all this book is pretty amazing in the way it explains Aspergers in simple terms, and using large letters to explain each kitten photo in terms of children with Aspergers. This conclusion is more positive than the sentence about a little bit of Asperger’s being present in us all in All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome because it is more assertive and inclusive.

Fast forward 11 and 14 years and although both books were still selling well, the layouts were dated and some of the text needed tweaking to represent current views and terminology. If your feline is chirping, purring, or meowing around you, then it is not necessary that he or she is autistic. With a primary school teaching background, she is the author of over twenty books for children and teenagers which sell widely in Australia, the UK, the US and the Middle East, and her books have been translated into nineteen languages. Much has happened in the field of autism since 2006, and Kathy has gently and with great care updated the book and adapted it to the societal development, which naturally affects our understanding of and approach to autism. I get this book, I understand the author is trying to educate in a cute way but our aspie kids take everything seriously and often do not know their endless stories are not everyone's cup of tea, or that some things that they say are outside of social norms.It’s a book that reminds me that being different is not a bad thing and, sometimes, people on the autism spectrum are both celebrated and misunderstood just like our feline companions. The text is simple but doesn't talk down to older readers; it just explains Asperger's Syndrome in a very easy-to-understand way. However, if you think there is something wrong with your feline like physiological abnormalities or infectious diseases, then you should bring her to the veterinarian to ensure your pet's health. It's obviously aimed at children but it wouldn't be a bad first place to start learning as an adult and it only takes a few minutes to read cover to cover. You’d expect teenagers to think they’re too old for picture books when they so desperately want to be seen as adults, but nope – the adorable cats and simple yet positive words to connect everything together made me, a lifelong dog owner and lover, feel a deep connection with cats and autism.

As I laid out in my review of All Dogs Have ADHD, this book fell short of what the descriptions and reviews seemed to imply. I narrowed my selection down to around 750 of my favourites, then whittled those down until finally 65 were chosen. Besides helping parents, I believe it can help the children themselves understand that we are all different, which is really a great thing. Kathy Hoopmann's newest edition of All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum will bring lots of smiles and autism awareness information to readers of every age.

Being “caught up in a world of their own where they can do their own thing over and over again without being disturbed. I only partly agree, because while those signs might exist at an early age, they are often not recognized! My main complaint is that it doesn't take into account differences between different individuals with Aspergers. The book begins by showing a sleeping kitty and telling how the first signs of Aspergers are usually picked up very young.
