Claire Danes Temple Grandin Final Scene

[@flamenix9508]

I watched this and I cried. Because I’m also autistic and this made me feel so heard and seen. The line “different but not less” made me cry and it was so good. This was a really good movie.

[@jasonchurilla5176]

I'm on the spectrum as well, and I cried too at that part, and just generally the whole scene. I felt validated and heard, you know? I like how when Temple says that she's autistic, everyone turns around at once, and the mother can tell that Something Important is happening. She's just so proud of Temple here, and finally catching a glimpse of how Temple thinks.

[@jean6453]

This made me cry too, I am not Autistic, but I truly care and love to see people thrive and grow and change the world.

[@nathaliehirte836]

I cry every time. My son is on the spectrum. From non-verbal, told he wouldn't learn, to a now 20 year old, independent man. He has a full-time job and just bought a condo. NEVER stop fighting for your child. NEVER believe the "experts" about your child's limitations without pushback or trying. Observe and listen to your child and your instincts.

To receive the validation of your daughter, who you’ve struggled to connect with, stand up and publicly acknowledge that what you did- the constant uphill battle that you endured- was the element responsible for their success would be a gift beyond words. Very well depicted. I love that Temple Grandin talks about this movie and the accuracy of it.

What a beautiful scene. Claire Danes always go to great lengths to understand every character and role she plays. Such an underrated actress. Claire really captured the essence of being misunderstood. This scene is showing the world this is all anyone wants from other's to be understood. I love how her character stood up in this scene and spoke out. She stood up for anyone on the spectrum in that moment and captured everyone's attention and heart's. They finally wanted to understand. Such a beautiful scene and moment in movie history.

Me being an autistic person, growing up I always felt like I was alone and weird for being different. People made me feel like I don’t belong. I always had this feeling that i’d never be understand, not even by my own parents. This movie changed my perspective so much and I cried at this scene.

[@PhoenixDaga]

Preaching to the choir as people on the spectrum are in a world where many don't want them though I can't help but get angry about the mother asking how she got cured but they certainly paid attention when she said she was on the spectrum

[@pattytadaima]

@@PhoenixDaga At that time there was not much information about autistic people and experts got to be contradictory in their essays, so I didn't get angry at all about hte mother asking if it could be cured. She didn't know. This character represents in a way to all the parents that didn't know what to do or how to help their children. It was a valid question at the time, I think. If it inspire me something is compasion.

[@TheAK47Freak]

Same, being at the "autistic level" of being able to appear "normal" but isolated as a child sucked. I felt those exact feelings you described. I also learned masking so early, I notice alot more now of how I change depending on who I'm talking to. I have literally 0 people from my childhood before the age of 16 I still talk to. At 16 i moved on to the next level of education in my country and started studying IT and finally found my forever friends in a small class of 10 people. Until you found people who were likeminded, your childhood felt so empty, atleast mine. An amazing scene and an amazing woman

I feel proud for this young lady mother, just as she must have felt, over and over again. Temple Grandin is someone we need to be listening to, because she has much to say, and is humble in sharing her experiences, to help others and teach the world about Autism. She is human, as much as anybody else is, and we need to remember that in the context of the film and the times it was set in. These people were afraid for the children being diagnosed as being on the Autism spectrum. Much more is known and understood about it today, thanks to Temple Grandin, and others who are showing us there's little to be fearful about

[@Rick9482]

Claire Danes gives the performance of a lifetime! She becomes Temple Grandin and you simply forget it's a movie or an actress playing a part. I've seen it about 4 or five times now and it just doesn't get old.

[@mrgreene3290]

Key comment that she said: 'I was different, but not less'. She continued to say she could see things that others didn't. There are programs today that help autistic children find the focus areas that will lead to their future careers, they tend to work very well in technology areas and other detail-oriented fields. Many corporations have recognized this skill set and have worked to find employment opportunities for young people on the autism spectrum.

[@TheRozylass]

I recently saw this film and loved it! The credit she gives to her mother made me just cry because mothers have such a profound influence on their children and she received some acknowledgement and praise for all her work and sacrifice. I especially love the line "Manners and rules matter, that was pounded into me!" YES!! A disability or diagnoses is no excuse for rudeness to others, or a reason to not follow social conventions. Temple Grandin is an amazing woman who pushed past her diagnosis and became a contributing member of society. Kudos to all those who believed in her and helped her along the way.

[@svetlanapil8089]

I feel so proud of people like her mother for giving her the right guidance! My mom pushed my brother to become independent when he lost his toes and fingers to a frostbite. It was hard for her to watch how he struggled to wash his plate after eating or do simple everyday tasks, but she held on and didn't jump into helping him. He learned how to live in his new condition and even did a home remodel by himself. I have autistic cousin, and her mother, unfortunately, was so ashamed of her condition that she didn't get proper education or any life skills. She was sheltered from life and even from simple household tasks. I think with a bit of guidance, she could function very well in society.

[@proudatheist2042]

You can be the guidance that your cousin needs.

[@chrisleblanc581]

There isn’t a pill, but an injectable targeting igf2 receptors in isn trials. It appears regulation of metabolic signaling pathways plays a large roll in the development of the brain. It’s delayed in those on the spectrum. Manipulating the insulin like growth factor receptor mediated signaling can restore normal maturation and pruning of the excessive local connectivity seen in those on the spectrum and promote the development of less localized connectivity typically more common in a more mature brain. I think excessive ingestion of highly processed foods during gestation that are dense in sugars play a role in the development of this delayed maturation condition in those genetically prone to it.

As a female diagnosed with Aspergers (outdated term, now autism/ASD), along with ADHD and epilepsy, recognizing myself in her explanation of the diagnosis (minus the spinning - flicking- or shaking my leg/foot always having been something I’ve done since childhood, still doing to this day - an extremely normal thing for people with ADHD), I have to say that this is Claire Danes’ best performance - Portraying the real life of Temple Grandin

I love this scene. This is my daughter, just like Temple . She once had a parent come and ask her for help with their son with Aspergers. He was afraid to have him take drivers ed, and she asked if he always wanted to drive him everywhere, and he said no. So she said have him take his drivers ed class and get his license. Then should his son go to college…on and on. After 20 minutes of letting this father know his son could do everything with patience and support, he nearly cried, and then said right to her, “ you need to teach this to everyone” and she said , are you kidding, I have Aspergers. ( speaking in public was extremely stressful for her) so this scene is marvelous, because my daughter learned to do just that, and also has her degree from USU like Temple Grandin.

I just watched this today because I saw a short earlier that intrigued me. What an excellent movie. Claire Danes threw down for this roll. Slayed it. Not just anyone could have portrayed an autistic person. Other movies failed for a reason. This movie took the time to get into the intricacies of the mother child bond struggle- I felt that with my own son. Like he just didn’t love me so his diagnosis was a cause I could address. The actress who played the mother also did so well. I truly believe her pain. I just really feel it was done tastefully and not overly exaggerated which then just misrepresents autism

[@winter9798]

do you ever wonder why our society celebrates movie or sport stars when this woman and her mother - both single handedly made peoples lives better.

On the one side these kind of films are empowering, on the other side they give the message that you have to be a genius so people will accept you with your autism. Many people with autism are of normal average intelligence. Their struggle is much harder, because they do not always have this special abilities that make people accept their autistic limitations.
