Temple Grandin Movie on DVD

Ok, so I know I put a post in before reminding readers when the movie would be airing, however I actually missed it.  So I finally broke down and rented it, I had been putting it off afraid it was going to make me cry in some way, based on the commercials.

I am pleased to say it did not make me cry.  It did move me in several other ways, it made me feel hopeful and positive, it angered me at points, and made me chuckle too as I rooted for her.  When I say anger me I am referring to the utter stupidity and ignorance of the ranch hands, and people that made fun of her so cruelly.  It disgusts me sometimes how cruel and hateful the world is.

I am glad it did not make me cry, in fact it was a rather happy movie, and Claire Danes did an amazing job!   I loved the scenes where Temple got one over on those against her, and seeing how far she has come and how much she has accomplished, she is the epitome of an amazing role model for everyone, especially those in the Autism community.  She gives me such hope that my little baby will not be held back or unable to open her “doors” to all that she too wants in life, due to this disability called Autism.

I bow to you Temple, and commend you for opening all your “doors”!
