I’m really excited to see Temple Grandin’s life was made into what looks to be a very good movie starring Claire Danes.
Having volunteered a number of years at a free surf camp for children with autism, I’ve always felt the kids were normal and fine but that the challenges/difficulties/hurdles were with people outside of their circle understanding that the kids perceived things a bit different than us and the challenge of communicating with them lie not with the kids, but with us/them.
This movie could go a long way in helping people not very familiar with autism understand this, and be more accepting of the kids AND their families.
I’m really excited to see this. I’ve said that twice already? That’s how excited I am!
Watch the full trailer here (1:30). It’s way better on full screen!
