If you haven't seen the movie
Temple Grandin, you need to rent it. Tomorrow.
It is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time with an unbelievable storyline. I was telling a co-worker about it this morning and said "at one point I caught myself just smiling at the television". I don't think I can say that about many movies.
For those of you who haven't heard about Temple here's your catch up. She is autistic. She didn't speak until age four. She was predicted to never function in normal society. She now has a bachelors degree in psychology - masters degree in animal science - doctoral degree in animal science & is a professor at Colorado State. (among all the published reports, books and movies of course)
She impacted the world of cattle farming like no other, designing corrals that reduced the stress level cows felt thereby making the entire process much more effective. (that might sound like a strange topic to be interested in but I'm telling you, watch the movie)
Oh yeah, and she was named one of
Time Magazines 100 most influential people in the world. (so really, watch the movie!)
