In this collection of beautiful and raw essays, Amy S. F. Lutz
writes openly about her experience-the positive and the negative-as
a mother of a now twenty-one-year-old son with severe autism.
Lutz's human emotion drives through each page and challenges
commonly held ideas that define autism either as a disease or as
neurodiversity. We Walk is inspired by her 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, We Walk directly-and
humanly-examines social issues such as inclusion, religion,
therapeutics, and friendship through the lens of severe autism. In
a world where public perception of autism is largely shaped by the
"quirky geniuses" featured on television shows like The Big Bang
Theory and The Good Doctor, We Walk demands that we center our
debates about this disorder on those who are most affected by its
impacts.
