Temple Grandin

At the top is a trailer for the movie "Temple Grandin," which I watched last night.  I keep a record of movies I've seen, rating them from 1+ ("waste of time") to 4+ ("recommend to others and watch again when I'm senile and have forgotten it").  This was definitely a 4+.  Claire Daines and Julia Ormond were outstanding in their roles.

The second video is part of a documentary about Temple Grandin, an autistic lady who is not a savant but is high-functioning with significant accomplishments in the field of animal welfare.

Via Vortex Puddle, which has a nice summary of the lady and her "hug machine."
