In a moving and inspirational memoir, the author tells the remarkable story of her journey out of the isolation of Aspergers Syndrome, and of the role played by a family of captive gorillas in her transformation. nThis is a book about autism. Specifically, it is about my autism, which is both like and unlike other peoples autism. But just as much, it is a story about how I emerged from the darkness of it into the beauty of it. nIn this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, Dawn Prince-Hughes traces her personal growth from undiagnosed autism to the moment when, as a young woman, she entered the Seattle Zoo and immediately became fascinated with the gorillas. n nHaving suffered from a lifelong inability to relate to people in a meaningful way, Dawn was surprised to find herself irresistibly drawn to these great primates. By observing them and, later, working with them, she was finally able to emerge from her solitude and connect to living beings in a way she had never previously experienced. n nSongs of the Gorilla Nation is more than a story of autism, it is a paean to all that is important in life. Dawn Prince-Hughess evocative story will undoubtedly have a lasting impact, forcing us, like the author herself, to rediscover and assess our own understanding of human emotion.n
