I recommend "Temple Grandin" an HBO movie originally on television with Claire Danes in the title role. It's an amazing biographical film from a number of angles; the phenomenal things accomplished by an autistic individual against incredible odds; how much we still need to learn about the mind; our tendency to reject or ridicule those things we don't understand; insight into the processing of animals for food...et cetera.
And Claire Danes proves to be a wonderful actress.
Postscript: Temple Grandin was recently in our province speaking to a group in a farm community but, unfortunately, I was away. It certainly would have been interesting.
