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. The richness of the pictures within this
book, captures the essence and spirit of autistic people through
the eyes of our purry, furry friends, that many autistics share a
love for, and a commonality in the charm, inquisitive nature and
love they have to give to the world

Kathy Hoopmann's books, using animals to explain aspects of SEND,
have pride of place on my shelf. In fact I have two copies of each,
so that I always have a spare to loan out. Each person who borrows
one ends up buying their own copy as they are a must-have for
anyone interested in the areas covered. This revision of All Cats
Have Aspergers, has been sensitively updated to include
developments in understanding of autism. The gender neutral
language now recognises that autism is not a 'male' condition and
the differences of everyone on the spectrum is beautifully
illustrated with tangles of colour. The photos are as endearing as
ever, making this a sensitive approach for any SENCO, parent or
child who is trying to explain or understand the high functioning
autistic condition. Two copies of All Cats are on the Autism
Spectrum now sit next to the rest of my collection.
*Dr Hélène Cohen, SEND educational consultant and speaker*
'Autism' is beautifully articulated and illustrated by our feline
associates. This book captures our spirit, highlights our
individuality, easily explains in an image, so many of our playful
and meaningful behaviours, as well as showcases our strengths. It's
a humorous account of a serious love affair!
*Wenn B. Lawson (PhD CPsychol)*
The descriptions of autism are astute, humorous and encouraging for
the autistic person and their family.
