When most people hear the word “autism” they don’t usually think of a top of the line biologist, scientist, writer, and educator. Temple Grandin is the most righteous living possessor of the “right stuff” because of all of her breakthroughs despite the barriers she has had to overcome throughout her life.

According to Lerner and Johns (2015), “Asperger’s syndrome is characterized by a reluctance to accept change; an inflexibility of thought; and…

Christopher Boone the main character of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, seems to be suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger’s Syndrome is considered to be a high functioning autism, this means that when compared to classic autism, these people are better able to communicate more efficiently and are capable of higher thinking.

Having to choose between two of the greatest movies I’ve watched in class would be a hard choice. They both have significant meaning, different lesson. To have a better of understanding of what autism is, Temple Grandin was able to show the hardship she went through. At the end, she was successful despite the mental condition. She was amazing, with a supportive mother always along her side, a teacher who believes in her, and made a long-lasting friendship. In the other movie, “Invictus,”…
