Dr. Temple Grandin

I was lucky enough to stumble upon the movie based on Dr. Temple Grandin's life on HBO today. As a teacher, I have always been fascinated by autism and its varying degrees of brilliance vs. disability and this movie appealed to me on so many levels.

Claire Danes if fantastic in her portrayal of Grandin and the content of the movie along with Grandin's understanding of animals is totally engaging.

She has written many books, but one that I am planning to purchase tomorrow (now that I've read and watched everything about her online). Have any of you all read this or any of her books?
