Phenomenal movie with Claire Danes. We saw the movie first, then Matt downloaded this TEDtalks w/Temple last night. Claire nailed her performance of this autistic woman perfectly. It's amazing! Temple, born in the late 50's, diagnosed at 4, was never expected to talk. Back then, they thought autism was a sign of lack ...of affection from the mother. Her mother, a loving & educated parent, did not give up on her. Temple is incredibly intelligent. She feels children w/all spectrum of Autism are not being paid enough attention to today in their abilities. Great video. Amazing woman.
