Temple Grandin

I've been interested in Temple Grandin since first reading about her in Oliver Sacks' 1995 book "An Anthropologist on Mars." Watching this clip of her speaking moved me so much that I cried for 20 minutes afterward (and I don't usually cry). I've worked with autistic and Asperger's clients over the years. To make an over-generalization, they're like Jesus' friend Nathaniel, in whom there is no guile.

There's a new HBO movie starring Claire Danes about her early life, which I haven't seen yet, but which looks good.
