Temple Grandin. It's a movie.

We saw the best movie! Go find a copy of Temple Grandin. It's a great story about Temple's life. Temple was born in the 1960's. She has autism. (Nice choppy sentences, there, Deborah.)

Saying, "It's about this woman with autism" is about all I can come up with because that really is the plot. But the story is intriguing and the movie is SO well done. Claire Danes plays Temple and it's been ages since I've seen such good acting.

After you watch the movie, watch "The Making of Temple Grandin" in the additional features. You'll get the meet the real Temple.

I have been thinking about this movie ever since we saw it. Because it's also about teachers and the powerful role of positive mentors. It's also about finding similarities where it would be easy to only see differences. And it's about becoming more human.

Just find a copy. Words fail me.

But watch it before you let your kids see it. I would let young adolescents watch it, but not little kids.
