I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World - Paperback
by Meghan Ashburn (Author), Jules Edwards (Author), Morénike Giwa Onaiwu (Foreword by)
There is a significant divide between autistic advocates and parents of autistic children. Parents may feel attacked for their lack of understanding, and autistic adults who offer insight and guidance are also met with hostility and rejection.
Meghan Ashburn, a mother of two autistic boys, and Jules Edwards, an autistic parent, were no strangers to this tension and had an adversarial relationship when they first met. Over time, the two resolved their differences and are now co-conspirators in the pursuit of disability justice. This book unites both perspectives, exploring the rift between these communities and encouraging them to work towards a common goal. It provides context to dividing issues, and the authors use their experience to illustrate where they've messed up, where they've got things right, and what they've learned along the way.Meghan Ashburn is a mother of autistic twins.
