Just one door after another

If this film is translated as "Autism Process", then the word "autism" is regarded as the "autism" of a door.

I don't think Temple Grandin closed the door to the normal world by herself, but God closed her door and made her a person who, perhaps in some sense, was normal. Someone who doesn't seem normal. In the human world, it seems that there are always various standards and judgments to measure people, not only God has taught people to love, not judge. It is not to choose to love or not to love after judgment, but to treat them indiscriminately from beginning to end.

If you, like me, have been called "abnormal", you will be more aware of Temple's occasional panic in the crowd. We have some deep-rooted shadows more or less due to our growing up experiences. For example, a soldier is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of a caterpillar; for example, some people have been bitten by a dog and have a sense of fear of dogs; , like..., like Temple dreads store glass doors that open and close automatically. It's just that I still don't understand why some people would laugh at the behavior of these people. Maybe I can only understand that the ridicule of these self-righteous people is so abnormal.

At this time, you will find how warm the people who love Temple are. Her mother, aunt, science teacher...and her friend—the blind girl, and the passerby who led her through the automatic glass door. God closes one door for you, He will open another door for you. The world that this door leads to is undoubtedly happy and wonderful for Temple.

In her world, far from what people call struggle. People don't understand Temple as she sits on the swing and turns in circles, but she's immersed in her own happy world. She clearly knows what she likes and what she wants, so she is obsessed with her own research and inventions, and all kinds of wonderful things in the scientific world... Compared with those who don't know what they want or what they like Humanly speaking, Temple is undoubtedly happy, and how unfortunate those who are born normal seem to be.

Later, Temple learned that every time he was timid, he imagined that it was a door, and behind the door was a world he didn't know about, and bravely opened it to enter another world. Temple learned to open doors for himself. At the end of the film, in fact, she is still her, she is still the one who speaks in a rush, standing up and speaking directly. In the autism seminar, she was no longer ridiculed by the people around her like in class, but received The audience listened. Until here, I still feel that Temple is still the same Temple, she has never changed, she is still afraid, so she imagines a door on the podium, and she pushes it open.

The people around him have changed, but Temple is still the same person. Even if he is a doctor, even if he has won many honors, even if other people's eyes have changed, Temple is still the same self, not arrogant or self-righteous. She is so humble, she still has fear, she still has fear, and she will slowly cheer herself up every time she is afraid, and bravely push the door.

It was just one door after another.
