My husband and i recently watched the movie
Temple Grandin
which was made in 2010.
My Mom mentioned this movie to me months ago
and i just hadn't gotten around to it,
but wanted to see it.
Apparently it won many awards and was very well done.
My Mom took it out of the library for me...
there are 17 copies of it or something like
that and there was a wait list to get it.
What a story...
a tear-jerker for this Mama :)
Temple is a grown woman who was diagnosed with
Autism at the age of 5.
She was completely non-verbal at that time.
The movie is based on her life story,
played by Claire Daines who is
amazing in the movie...
especially once you watch the clip i posted above
(of one of Temples conferences she spoke at)
and observe how Temple talks and
her manurisms and what not.
The clip is 20 minutes long,
but gives you great insight into the world of Autism,
into the world of how different
minds view the world,
and to how to best train these brainy
autistic kids to use what they have, to offer to the world.
Temple has written several books on Autism
and the outlook that she has through it...
about viewing the world in pictures.
She is very well spoken and speaks at conferences
all over the world today.
What hope it gives to us who worry about
our kids with ASD and their future.
I recommend this movie (below) to anyone who
knows someone with Autism.
