The books Gorillas Among Us: A Primate Ethnographer's Book of Days, Expecting Teryk: An Exceptional Path to Parenthood, Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism, and Both the editor of Aquamarine Blue 5: Personal Stories of College Students with Autism and The Archetype of the Ape-man: The Phenomenological Archaeology of a Relic Hominid Ancestor, Adam, discuss this subject. In December 2009, she published Passing As Human/Freak Nation: How I Learned That No One Is Normal and Circus of Souls: How I Learned We Are All Freaks. In 2013, the book Passing as Normal was released. Prince-Hughes worked at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo as a young adult. She saw how male silverback gorillas looked after their families and paternally interfered to settle disputes, setting the example for group conduct. She came to the conclusion that fear is a normal reaction to humor, while wrath frequently results from shame. The prevailing scientific paradigm, which claims that human cognitive processes are obviously unique from those of other primates, is contested by Prince-Hughes. She has come to a number of contrary scientific conclusions, one of which is that English can be spoken by bonobo chimpanzees if one can merely comprehend the accent..
