This book is one of my favorites! Its been inspired by Temple Grandin's work with animals (esp. her book Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior).

While Temple Grandin has a special connection with animals because of her autism, Dasha, a family cat, claims she has a special connection with autistic individuals because of her catness. Well-researched but easy to read, Dasha's Journal: A Cat Reflects on Life, Catness and Autism provides information to explain the myths and mysteries of autism, while offering her feline views on life in general along the way. What shes trying to meow is, like Temple Grandin, who proves that being autistic makes it easier to understand animals, Dasha, being an animal tries to make it easier to understand autism.
The book blends the literary journey with an engaging scientific study. As one of the reviewers says, the final result is a funny, clever, and up to date exposition of our present day knowledge regarding autism.
Well worth reading!
