I've updated one of my entries with some more info and made some tweaks, would someone mind putting it through for me please?
Old entry here - A7741019

It's been in PR about a month, so I don't think there can be much wrong with it.
Thank you!

I saw a book today called "All Dogs have ADHD" and I thought of you.

We own a book called "All cats have Asperger Syndrome"

My shelf of dog books is only dwarfed by my shelf of Stephen King, and that's only because his books are three inches thick. Funnily enough, all the dog books written by people who are not well thought of in the 'dog world' are big thick ones.
But I haven't heard that one! How thick was it so I know if it's worth getting or not?

It's extremely thin (on the Stephen King scale)
By Kathy Hoopman, ISBN 1 84310 481 4
I suspect it's on the same theme as Gnomon's ADHD one he mentions above. It's just a collection of photographs, with a sentence beneath, explaining the similarities. The photos are very cute Laura bought it for Andrew one Christmas and it's a favourite of his because the sentences are easy to read (and the photos are gorgeous kittens)

Yes, the Cat/Asperger and Dog/ADHD books are slim and both by the same author, so I assume that they are treated the same. They seem to be an introduction to the syndrome/disorder using cats and dogs as examples, rather than the other way around.

Yes, and mine is dedicated to someone special
I recall a programme on the author of Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome, Luke Jackson, http://www.lukejackson.info/ when he said cats had Aspergers, and I immediately agreed. That was years ago!
Such a simple book, (All cats have Aspergers) but I highly recommend it for anyone stuck for explanations in simple terms.
