and shortly after my last posts I found this --wow--

The HBO biopic Temple Grandin starring Claire Danes won five (count em FIVE) Emmy Awards last night. Congrats to everyone involved in the film on their wins!!! The real Temple Grandin was the evening's honors guest, standing up and waving several times during the show every time the inspiring film won an award.

But who is this amazing person???

Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism at age 2 in 1950 and is an inspiration for her work with livestock technology and being an advocate for people with autism. As one of the first advocates for autism, she is living proof that NO ONE should or can be defined by mental disabilities!! She believed in animal welfare thanks to her years of life on a farm, and spent countless years working to "see" from an animal's point of view & invest time into technologies to benefit farm animals. In addition to her work with livestock, Temple also invented the hug machine to help soothe & relax hypersensitive people with autism.
