My friend Marla Roth-Fisch, author of Sensitive Sam , sent me some great information on an upcoming movie and two excellent websites with resources for parents of children with autism and sensory challenges. Thanks Marla!

HBO debuts their long-awaited movie, Temple Grandin
February 6, 2010!    8:00 p.m.

Claire Danes stars in the title role of this HBO Films presentation of a Ruby Films/Gerson Saines production, based on the true story of the best-selling author, animal scientist and autism advocate, whose own autism has afforded her uncanny powers of observation. Directed by Mick Jackson. Watch the HBO movie trailer here.

For additional resources, parents can go to the Future Horizons, Inc. web sites:

Marla's book, Sensitive Sam , is a wonderful resource for children with sensory processing disorder. And it has a happy ending! I'll be featuring it in a blog post later this week, so stay tuned.
