Previously issued in print: 2020.. - We Walk -- Physical Guidance -- Answers and Questions -- The Next Time -- Just Say Yes -- All Possible Spaces -- Praesidalism -- The Child Who Does Not Know How to Ask -- Baseline.. - in this collection of essays, the author writes openly about her experience as a mother of a now 21 year old son with severe autism. The author's human emotion drives through each page and challenges commonly held ideas that define autism either as a disease or as neurodiversity. The book is inspired by the author's own questions: What is the place of intellectually and developmentally disabled people in society? What responsibilities do we, as citizens and human beings, have to one another? Who should decide for those who cannot decide for themselves? What is the meaning of religion to someone with no abstract language? Exploring these questions, the book examines social issues such as inclusion, religion, therapeutics, and friendship through the lens of severe autism.. - Specialized.
