The findings section consist of two parts. Each part presents the objectives of this research. The first part presents the findings of the kinds of responses given
by Temple Grandin, the autistic character in Temple Grandin movie, to her interlocutors. The second part presents the features of autistic person represented
by Temple Grandin, the autistic character in Temple Grandin.
1. Kinds of Responses Given by Temple Grandin, the Autistic Character in
Temple Grandin Movie, to Her Interlocutors
An individual with autism can have problems in giving responses to others in communication. According to Rothwell 2000:37, kinds of responses can be
categorised as cognitively irrelevant responses CI, cognitively relevant responses CR and cognitively disruptive and socially inappropriate responses
CDI. For the third categorisation, Schank in Carrol, 2008:231 divides the cognitively disruptive and socially inappropriate responses into three kinds. They
are odd responses OD, more relevant but not too polite responses RNP, and marginally relevant responses MR.
To provide the information, the researcher presents the findings of the data in Table 3 to show the detailed occurrence of particular kinds of responses given
by Temple Grandin, the autistic character in Temple Grandin movie.

Table 3 presents the kinds of responses experienced by the main character with autism of Temple Grandin. As shown in the table, there are 81 total
occurrences of kinds of responses. Based on the table, Temple Grandin‟s responses reflect all kinds of
responses. The highest frequency is cognitively disruptive and socially inappropriate responses CDI. The data show that 34 of the total occurrences
belong to CDI or it is 41.97 out of 100 . CDI is divided into three categories namely odd responses OD, more relevant but not too polite responses RNP,
and marginally relevant responses MR. Odd responses OD only have 2 data or 2.47 . More relevant but not too polite responses RNP have 18 data or 22.22
. Marginally relevant responses MR have 14 data or 17.28 . The second position is ranked by cognitively irrelevant responses CI. CI has 24 data or
29.63 . Although Temple Grandin has problems in giving responses, she can give relevant responses to the hearers. It is proven by the occurrence of
cognitively relevant responses CR that is almost the same as cognitively
