This isn’t a book to promote toxic positivity and proclaim that this is a time for healing division within the greater autism community. This isn’t a time for healing, it is a time for productive conflict. Children’s lives are at stake. If we choose to, we can demand equity and justice unabashedly, privileged feelings be damned. If we choose to, we can engage in conflict in a way that builds relationships and invites others to join us in our work. And we can do both, at the same or different times, as we see fit and are able.
