[hollymg]

I'm reading it now and would love to hear what others think. It has given me a lot to think about, partly in learning about my son but also some things that are resonating with me...

Its a Book about the journey through Autism

In this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, Dawn Prince-Hughes traces her personal growth from undiagnosed autism to the moment, as a young woman, when she entered the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and became immediately fascinated with the gorillas. By observing them and, later, working with them, Prince-Hughes was finally able to emerge from her solitude and connect to living beings in a way she had never previously experienced.

 

More than a story of autism, Songs of the Gorilla Nation is a poignant, beautifully written exploration of the rich landscape of human emotion and the ways we learn to love.

 

 

No not read it, but would love to know if it is any good.
