I'm continuing my quest to understand more about Aspergers and autism in general, and this time I picked out a nonfiction title from the kids section. Kathy Hoopman wrote All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome, and with a title like that I figured I'd like it.

Of course, cats make everything look good, so it's a very positive portrayal.

I just have to remember that X is basically a cat, and then his reactions and misunderstandings make a lot more sense. A
