Animals and Autism

This post isn't really about animals and autism in general, but about there effect on my life on the spectrum.

When I was younger I usually had a special interest in some type of animal, anything from pill bugs to primates to rats to reptiles.  I would get lots of books from the library to research them and talk about them.  A few years ago my dad played a phone message he had saved on his computer during which I listed off all of the animals that my 8 or 9 year old self wanted to have as a pet at some time in my life.

Currently my family has 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a bird.  I am by far most attached to my cat Hans (also known as Kitty), I am more attached to him then anything or anyone else.

I will end this post with a picture of my cat Hans.  Please don't take my pictures with out permission.
