Facinating

Whenever I hear the name Temple Grandin it piques my interest. Not only because I've been extremely interested in the whole autism spectrum since I did an internship in a special needs class way back when I was at CSU, but also because she's now a professor at CSU. This movie is extremely well done and acted, but mostly it's a fascinating look into how a person with autism sees the world. It's unreal how similarly both Temple Grandin and John Elder Robison (from the book I mentioned some time back called "Look Me in the Eye") describe some of the traits they share.
What an amazing woman and life.

"If I could snap my fingers and become nonautistic I would not do so. Autism is part of who I am." ~Temple Grandin
