Did Temple really act that way when she was in her 20's and 30's or did they over exaggerate her behavior?

When I saw her last summer, she seemed normal but in the movie you could tell she was different. I would have wondered if she had MR or not if I didn't know her.

BioPick topic

Temple Grandin is one of a kind. We are all different, and we each succeed in our own unique ways.

As I mentioned in another thread, this biodocumentary is an absolute masterpiece. :D

Lecks, I absolutely LOVE your avatar.

I enjoyed immensely, Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes that seemed to me to be PURE Aspie.

I was encouraged that 'I'm not that bad' (well at least not that bad sometimes :D )


I was annoyed by Sherlock Holmes in the movie by the same name, he could have dropped those corny lines and that cheesy acting.

I watched the Temple Grandin movie last Saturday evening and found it to be fascinating. I believe the portrayal of her was probably meant to be accurate. I will definitely be buying the film when it is released for sell. I find Temple Grandin as one of the most amazing human beings alive today. Since my wife's family is into farming, I am sure they deal with some of her innovations in their cattle industry.

as much as I admire Dr. Grandin, I must say I am repulsed by her physical presence. Something inside my mind keeps screaming - "oh, goodness, woman, keep it together, you are embarassing me!" I guess I am not as autistic as I think I am! :roll:

I admire Dr. Grandin very much; to each their own, but she is herself- not trying to please anyone. This isn't embarrassing.

"I'm not as autistic as I think I am".....
Really Sinboldly??! !

That is quite pompous to say.
