Temple Grandin

This HBO production about a woman named Temple Grandin who while autistic in a time when children who were autistic were often institutionalized is quite a story. The wife picked this one out though I admit I watched it.

Clare Danes starred in the movie and did a great job, making us forget she was Clare Danes. In the role she played an autistic woman who goes to high school, college and eventually is an expert in cows. Her ability to see things differently as she is perceptive to light and noise becomes an asset to her.

There are many interesting things in this movie not all will I give away here. First and sadly in my mind however is the fact that doctors told mothers that autism might be due to a mothers failure to bond with a child at the correct time.

A good movie
