I love stories about people who overcome great obstacles in their life. (who doesn't?) This is one of those stories. RENT it! I am not sure why it isn't more known. We loved this movie. What was amazing to me was how far our society has come in recognizing, diagnosing, and coping with autism. In the 50's when Temple Grandin was diagnosed, the doctor told her mother that somehow, a necessary bonding never occurred. In essence, it was the mother who failed in some way to bond with her child. I cannot believe this was a logical and common belief. Makes me wonder how far off we are in some of our beliefs today about certain issues.
Rent this movie. You won't regret it. Claire Danes was amazing.
