she's pushing open a door

I had seen the HBO show about her before, and thought that the American society provided her with a special interpersonal environment for the treatment of autism. In the show, she did not mention those real encounters at all.

Halfway through watching, I thought she was really robotic, without emotion, and nowhere in intelligence. She clearly liked cows and felt like cows, but tried her best to help the slaughterhouse slaughter cows more easily. But when she said her thoughts later, she understood that she is a rational machine full of sensibility, just like the "hug machine" she designed.
It is also like a calf caught by a machine and feels quiet and relaxed.

As a human being I am a little more self-aware.

Her performance in the film is much more endearing than the boring regular HBO science show, like a child who is excited to watch UNCLE and jumps into adult society. She likes to dress up as a cowboy and doesn't like to wear skirts. She is completely a female character who does not meet social expectations.
The film's main creative team is almost entirely female.

Autistic patients did not enter a mental hospital, and achieved unexpected achievements, which is unbelievable now, she opened a door for the world.

Temple Grandin quotes

  • [Temple tries to leave the funeral]

    Eustacia: Temple, are you alright?

    Temple Grandin: I'm leaving now.

    Eustacia: It isn't over yet.

    Temple Grandin: I said goodbye when I saw him, he isn't there. I've got him in my mind.

  • Eustacia: I have done everything that I can for Temple, and if it isn't good enough, then it just isn't good enough. But you cannot even begin to imagine the chaos, the upheavals, the tantrums and the pain.

    [emphasis]

    Eustacia: Her pain.

    Dr. Carlock: You seem to be acting as if you have done something wrong, when it's obvious you've done everything right. I think she's terrific.
