What an incredible movie! Claire Danes did an excellent job portraying this amazing woman. I saw so many people I know in the character of Temple and those around her. In fact, I've come to believe that everyone sits somewhere on the autism spectrum, so I even saw myself in there sometimes! Temple's story is one of frustration, sadness and struggle, but also one of hope, possibility and encouragement for those with ASD, their families and those who work with them.
Here's just a little portion of dialogue I quite liked...
Temple: I hate parties! There are too many people and no one listens to me. They keep giving each other looks and I don't know what they mean.
Mother: They're just uncomfortable. People don't wanna hear all those... - details about cattle.
Temple: Well, I do. I wanna be with cattle.
Mother: Sweetheart...I don't want you to avoid people.
Temple: They make me feel bad.
Mother: Then ignore them!
