Grandin found it much easier to not only relate to cattle, but to really get into their minds and understand them more than other people. Her book Animals in Translation examines how her life with autism allows her to understand animals in a way that most others cannot. Even though Grandin finds it difficult to relate to other people, she understands that it is necessary and helpful in many cases. Grandin admits to people that she cannot quite understand them unless they are very straightforward and speak what they mean.
