Synopsis

A woman afflicted with Asperger's syndrome--a form of autism--writes eloquently about her work with gorillas. One aspect of her condition is that she is able to interact better with animals than with people, and after a life of being abused and even beaten as a result of her limitations, she finds enormous solace among the gorillas. She also finds friends for the first time in her life, and comes to a greater understanding not only of the animals but of humans.
