I watched on SBS tonight a doco on Temple Grandin (yes, I know you're probably sick of hearing about her by now). It was mildly interesting, but is it me, or does Grandin sound a lot like Jodie Foster playing Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs?

BTW, the doco was a BBC one called "The Woman Who Thinks Like A Cow".

Yeah now that you mention it, she does sound a little like Jodie Foster in that part. I think overall it is a good documentary to show others a basic understanding of the autism spectrum though.

I've seen that.

I thought it was very interesting because it focussed on her innovative animal welfare work rather than just being another documentary about autism.
