There's a lady with autism who has become the world's foremost expert in what cows think.

She shares the opinion of the author.

BTW, she makes a good living with her skill since moving cattle around without panic is a major problem in this world. Her observations and recommendations have saved billions of dollars.

I doubt she's aware of con artists, but she probably would do OK in anticipating the moves of wolves.

You're referring to Temple Grandin, an extremely high-functioning autistic person. I've never seen her express agreement with the OP's ideas. She thinks autistic humans have brain defects which disable some of the functions which normal humans have, making autistics think and feel more like higher mammals who never had those brain functions in the first place.

I highly recommend her books to anyone interested in animal behavior, real scientific psychology, and heroic effort to overcome adversity.
