I Will Die On This Hill

I Will Die On This Hill, co-written by autistic advocates and parents, is a nonfiction book about supporting autistic children while centering neurodivergent voices. It challenges deficit-based narratives and explores topics like diagnosis, school, therapy, meltdown vs. tantrum, and advocacy through essays and conversations between the authors. Parents appreciate the nuanced look at power dynamics between professionals, caregivers, and autistic people, and many find their assumptions about “normal” behavior productively shaken. It’s a valuable, perspective-shifting read for families, educators, and therapists aiming for truly respectful, collaborative support.
