HBO premieres Temple Grandin tomorrow night. It’s the story of an inventor, advocate, and author who made an awful lot of people rethink autism. Her book, Thinking In Pictures, is the first book many parents read when they learn their children have the developmental disorder.
Here’s a fine piece about the production by The Daily Beast writer Jace Lacob. And here’s a clip. It feels about right.
Have a great weekend. I think there’s some kind of football game on TV as well.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Tim, we watched Temple Grandin. I think they did a great job telling the story and Claire Danes was just fabulous. I remembered reading about Grandin quite a few years ago regarding her livestock handling ideas. (Hey…I live in ranch country and these topics are somehow unavoidable.) I thought it was brilliant then, and this movie brought it full circle. (livestock humor…sigh.)
