After putting my son to sleep last night, I took some rare down time and watched the biographical movie Temple Grandin. Actress Claire Danes plays Temple, who was diagnosed with Autism in the 1960s. Her mother was a Harvard graduate who determined to help her daugher as best as possible, which included disregarding the doctors advise to institutionalize Temple. The movie shows parts of Temple's life from young child through adulthood and her journey to achievment. It was both informative and inspiring. Her extrodinary ability of visual memory and visualizing "in pictures" as she explains, allowed her to revolutionize the meat packing industry. I appreciated the subtle parts of the movie that illustrated her point of view from a sensory processing and social perspective. This included loud noises, fear of moving in space, and my favorite- the calming effect of deep pressure. I would recommend this film to families with children who have autism, with the reminder that ALL children with autism are different.
