As soon as I get it back from a friend, I have "Animals in Translation," by Temple Grandin. It's a fascinating look at animal behavior, written by someone with autism. She says she's able to analyze and "understand" animals better than neuro-typical people, because animals and people with autism process sensory input in similar ways.
It's so, so interesting, and made a lot of sense.
A warning, though...she designs slaughterhouses for a living, so if you're sensitive to that type of thing, you probably wouldn't enjoy the book. It's not terribly graphic, but she's very matter-of-fact about her work at designing humane slaughterhouses.
