A group of Natomas SoNG founding parents gathered in the spring to watch HBO's "Temple Grandin" biopic together - and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
The writing, acting and filmmaking of this real-life story continues to gain attention from the mainstream with several Emmy award nominations.
The nominations for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards were revealed this morning, and HBO’s biopic Temple Grandin cleaned up with 15 nominations, including one for Claire Danes’s portrayal of Grandin, two supporting-actress nods for Julia Ormond as Temple’s mother and Catherine O’Hara as Temple’s aunt, supporting-actor recognition for David Strathairn as a sympathetic teacher, and nominations for writing, directing, and best made-for-TV movie.
This film is highly recommended for parents of all children with special needs. Temple Grandin's story is not just about autism, it's about the parents - and others - who support children who are "different, not less."
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie!! I was bawling like a baby throughout, though! It really touched home for me, having a daughter on the spectrum. We need one of those "squeeze machines" for our daughter! She would love it!
