Temple Grandin

The movie Temple Grandin is about a woman named Temple Grandin who was born with autism. She was different from most kids because she learned to talk. Most autistic kids never learn to talk. Her mother wanted her to interact with other children so that she wasn’t completely isolated from the world. She helped on her aunts farms every summer where she discovered that she liked working with cattle. She went to boarding school, and went on to college. She received masters too. People picked on her a lot because she was weird. While in college she developed a “squeeze machine”. This helped her relax by hugging their body. She used this in great times of stress to fell better because she didn’t like human contact. She went on to get masters in science. She discovered her passion in life which was animal husbandry. She redesigned and developed many animal slaughter houses. She believed that the cattle should be relaxed before they got slaughter, a slow not painful death. This movie taught the power of people with disabilities can overcome a lot. This is a very inspiring movie and I would recommend it to everyone.
