One of greatest filmmakers named Steven Spielberg had been diagnosed with As in 2005. I'm just curious. What does she think of his films? Was she enjoyed by any spielberg's film?

Many people claim that Spielberg has a diagnosis of AS. It has been a widely debated issue online. Unfortunately, though, I don't think that these rumours are true.

unless he's spoken publicly about it, it's just a rumor.

I wouldn't say he's one of the greatest. He's certainly no Stanley Kubrick, who also has been rumored to have had AS. Stanley Kubrick never made a bad film, Spielberg has, Kubrick wins. If you want to know how Temple Grandin feels about it I'd suggest going to a conference you know she'll be speaking at or attending and asking her. She's pretty approachable for an autistic person. At least she always seemed that way to me, I've never directly spoken to her though, maybe she would freak out if approached by a stranger and my perception that she was approachable was completely wrong.
