On Sunday night HBO won five Emmys for "Temple Grandin": the biographical movie about the renowned author/agricultural scientist who has autism. We'll hear from the Executive Producer Emily Gerson Saines about her ten year effort to bring Temple's story to the screen and we'll talk with Temple's mother Eustacia Cutler, who believed in her daughter's potential in the 1950s and 60s when autism was misdiagnosed and autistic children were often sent to institutions. We'll also speak with Lettuce Work Foundation Executive Director Doug Sharp about creating a business to train and employ autistic adults over age 22.
