Songs of the gorilla nation

my journey through autism
2005
In this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, the author traces her personal growth from undiagnosed autism, to the moment, as a young woman, when she entered a zoo and became immediately fascinated with the gorillas. By observing them and later working with them, Price-Hughes was finally able to 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 emotions and the ways we learn to love.
