Everyone should read this insightful, moving, well-crafted book. Ron Suskind draws readers intimately into the struggles and triumphs of his family's life with an autistic son. Life, Animated leaves readers with a fresh perspective on a myriad of subjects from Autism to Disney to what it means to be family.
pick"Walter doesn't want to grow up, like Mowgli or Peter Pan."
After four years of silence or simple speech, Owen Suskind, son of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ron, made this insightful comment about his brother Walt. This helped his parents realize that the Disney movies Owen turned to for comfort, the "affinity" of his autism, were actually helping him process the world.
Read if you are interested in the autism spectrum or Disney.
I am at an autism conference for work today, and Ron Suskind was the keynote speaker. I haven't read this book yet, or seen the movie based on it, but after his speech, I plan to.
Okay, Litsy! You win! The #mostrecommended thing since I've joined has been audiobooks and yesterday I got an Audible subscription.
My first book is this memoir from Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ron Suskind about raising his autistic son whose primary connection with the world is through Disney movies. Also an Oscar-nominated documentary which I plan on checking out after the book.
