The film won seven Emmy Awards…
…But all of the classic symptoms [of Autism] … took second stage for Grandin when she was finally brought up on stage for Temple Grandin ’s big award, “Best TV Movie.” At one initially uncomfortable moment, she grabbed the microphone from producer Emily Gerson Saines, to pay tribute to her mother who was in the audience, and then, in the highlight of the entire Emmy show, Grandin grabbed Saines in a prolonged and heartfelt hug. She became her own “hug machine,” and broke all stereotypes of autism by exhibiting unbounding emotion. It was a classic, iconic moment, with an impact that most of the viewing audience probably did not fully comprehend and appreciate.
