Commentary
Inspiring true story of an autistic woman growing up in a male-dominated, neurotypical world that does not understand her. When she realizes that she has a connection with animals that others do not, it motivates her to become an inventor—but how can she make her visions a reality? Claire Danes is excellent as Temple, and one cannot help but be inspired by this heroic figure who battled ignorance and stereotypes and is still creating today.
