Temple Grandin (film)
2010 American film directed by Mick Jackson
Temple Grandin is a 2010 American biographicaldramatelevision film directed by Mick Jackson and starring Claire Danes as Temple Grandin, an autistic woman whose innovations revolutionized practices for the humane handling of livestock on cattle ranches and slaughterhouses. It is based on Grandin's memoirs Emergence and Thinking in Pictures.
The biopic was inspired by executive producer Emily Gerson Saines, whose experience as the mother of an autistic child motivated her to share Temple Grandin’s story. She secured Grandin’s approval in the late 1990s but faced years of setbacks before the project came to fruition. After several creative shifts, the film was directed by Mick Jackson, with Claire Danes cast as Grandin. Danes immersed herself in the role, studying Grandin’s work and spending time with her to capture her unique persona. Filmed in Texas in 2008, the production emphasized authenticity, even involving Grandin in key moments.
Premiering on HBO on February 6, 2010, the film earned widespread

By Nils Skudra
Among the autism-themed films that I have seen, one of the most outstanding biographical depictions is the 2010 HBO film Temple Grandin, starring Claire Danes as the famed animal husbandry professional and autism advocate. This film delves into Grandin’s life and her efforts to achieve recognition and success at a time when autism was deeply misunderstood within the medical field and relatively unknown among the wider public. Because the public and professional understanding of autism has significantly broadened in the years since Grandin’s adolescence, I felt that this film merited a review so that audiences will have the opportunity to learn more about this compelling figure.
The film opens with Temple Grandin appearing in a room configured to represent an optical illusion, narrating, “My name is Temple Grandin. I’m not like other people. I think in pictures, and I connect them.”
