Who, besides myself, saw the TEMPLE GRANDIN special, featuring Claire Daines (or Danes), and considered Temple Grandin herself a role model on account of Autism in general?

She is a very smart lady. Given her emotional limitations she is doing as well as she can in living her life.

That movie is a great introduction to those with and without Autism.

It airs on Sky Atlantic at 9pm - 3rd April 2011.

Temple Grandin is a great example of what people on the spectrum can accomplish, but no, I don't see her as a role model.
