Articles: Non-Human Animal Perception and Cognition
Are Animals Autistic Savants?
Giorgio Vallortigara,* Allan Snyder, Gisela Kaplan

Paper debunking Temple Grandin's claim that autistic people are similar to animals n terms of cognition. INteresting and interesting response by Grandin. What I don't get with Grandin is her insistence that humans think in language and that our memories are in language (while hers is not). Maybe i am also autistic, but my memories are for sure not in language (unless I recollect a discussion). And neither are my thoughts (except if I think about what I want to say). WHo is it that said we think in thoughts?
