Last night my daughter and I watched a movie that had me cheering for a courageous woman with autism. The movie, a true story, was produced by HBO and called "Temple Grandin". Have you seen it? Temple's story is a testimony to those have special needs and struggle to live in a world in which they are not understood but in which have much to offer. It's just a fascinating movie. I also like it because it contains animals and cute western wear.
I appreciated how the connection was portrayed between Temple and her college roommate. Her "uniqueness" had scared off previous roommates. But, wouldn't you know, the roommate she needed came - another person with special needs. Seeing how they accepted and befriended each other makes me think of my brother Erik and all his buddies at Aldersgate. I could write so much more about it but don't want to spoil it for you...
check out the promo for this film here.
