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.

❤️♾️🧡♾️💛♾️💚♾️💙♾️💜This is the book the world so desperately needed. It is so uniquely written. It is informative and inspirational, but it is raw and evokes every emotion imaginable. This is probably one of the more quotable books I’ve read in awhile. It fights back against the tragedy narrative that’s been shoved down our throats for decades. I feel like I can parent better after reading this, I also feel as though I can cut myself some slack after reading this. So many valuable stories and anecdotes throughout this book, some funny, some heartbreaking, some relatable and many eye opening. It was like having a warm cup of coffee and a meaningful talk with a good friend. So much misinformation is debunked in this book. As a former educator, I know the reality that teachers received little to no training on how to support neurodivergent students. Obviously, this is no fault of their own, teachers are heroes, and if they knew what the autistic community wanted them to know and do; schools would be a better (safer and more enjoyable) place for so many students. I want every therapist and every educator to read this book, heck- I want everyone to read this book. Peace out martyr parents, I’m pulling up a chair for us to love, appreciate and celebrate our children and ourselves. Read this book, you won’t regret it. You will laugh, you might cry, you will (hopefully) check and unpack your own ableism and reflect on your mistakes- but you will learn to do better. None of us are going to get it all right, but this collaboration will point us in the right direction. This book is truly revolutionary, it has the potential to change the world for disabled individuals if only we listen and we are open to challenge what we thought we knew.Thank you Meghan and Jules for this labor of love, you made the world a better and more informed place! I Will Die On This Hill ePUB Kindle Download epub online I've always wanted to do what's best for my child, but the dialogue between parents, professionals, and autistic adults can be confusing (at best) and sometimes downright intimidating. This book provides a clear explanation of how we got to where we are, using personal stories from the co-authors lives. It also provides exceptional guidance for both parents and autistic individuals to navigate the divide between these groups and to continue work to support the bridges that connect us all (our kids!).I particularly liked that the book includes a variety of voices. Each section is introduced by a different autistic person and shares their lived experiences. Ashburn and Edwards also weave in race, culture, and other intersectionalities from their own perspectives, creating a rich tapestry that demonstrates how we can have common goals and still have different ways of looking at things.The language in this book is straightforward and easy to read, but the subject matter is not easy at all. You will find yourself sitting with the words in this book, and that's okay. You may even need to put it down for a while, as I did. I encourage parents to practice self-care as you go -- it is worth getting to the end and self-care will help prepare you for your next steps.Finally, my thanks to the authors for having the courage to write this book. I wish I had it 10 years ago when my child was identified! PDF I Will Die On This Hill read online This book is a must for anyone who has kids , who works with kids or is a human living on this one planet. This book celebrates and draws attention to the many different neurotypes that exist and are to be valued and are an asset to communities….this helps foster the necessary interdependence that is such a very “mammalian biological quality” and research shows humans thrive when in relationship with others, not alone. This was so eloquently described by Jules and this rich connection to her culture. Where disabilities were viewed very differently than in western culture. We could learn a lot from indigenous peoples. The big difference is this book is about appreciating and, being together in community so that we accept and support all members of the community. This is when our communities, and our children thrive.This book is so much more than other autism related books out there. This book will get the reader to dig deeper to understand, that what many parents have been told about their autistic kids, is simply a sales pitch to the capitalistic approaches that are literally making money off of parents fears and misinformation which is fed again by the big systems. The voices that are shared in this book are real, authentic and moves the reader, whether you are an autistic parent, an allistic parent, educator, therapist, etc….this book will have you second guessing a lot of what you thought you knew about autism, but more importantly it will help you to see that autistic individuals are not broken, they don’t need fixing, yes individuals may need supports in different areas of life or at different phases of life. Expecting an autistic individual to follow the neuronormative playbook is what is damaging and harmful and this gets carried throughout one’s life. Just ask any autistic person. Read this book and then share it with someone. ePUB I Will Die On This Hill sito di download Downloads (PDF) I Will Die On This Hill
