I watched this movie on HBO that recently just aired…last week, I think but I wanted to share this with you because I feel that if you have a child with autism/aspergers syndrome that you MUST watch this movie. I’m not gonna spoil it for you but basically it’s about Temple Grandin, a woman with autism, and her struggles from her diagnosis to her adult life and what she had to overcome to succeed. Yes, she is a success. I literally CRIED during this movie… there are also parts where you will laugh and be amazed (just the way the film is made with certain sounds and visuals to let you “the viewer” know what she “Temple” is hearing or seeing). Claire Danes KICKED ASS in this movie and did an amazing job playing Temple. Please… please, I urge you all to watch this movie and let your friends watch this movie and keep this movie in circulation because we have to let everyone know that our children are “different, not less”. That was the theme of the movie and I feel as though this movie should be required watching for any newly diagnosed child’s parent. It’s profound and eye-opening. You wont regret looking at it.
