Throughout the first chapter of Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson, Grandin expresses thoroughly how her autism gives her an advantage in the animal behavior world. Her autism allows her to relate to animals in ways other behavior professionals cannot. Grandin “sees” like the animals and uses her knowledge to solve behavior problems and change the world’s view of animals behavior. Grandin’s autism gives her a unique perspective on animals behavior. Grandin introduces her claim simply. She says, “I’m different from every other professional who works with animals. Autistic people can think the way animals think” (page 6). She wastes no time to let us know that her autism makes her different than the others. Grandin
