What is it like to raise a child who's different from you in some fundamental way (like a prodigy, or a differently abled kid, or a criminal)? In this quietly moving talk, writer Andrew Solomon shares what he learned from talking to dozens of parents -- asking them: What's the line between unconditional love and unconditional acceptance?
ANDREW SOLOMON will be speaking at 7 PM Tuesday November 18 at the Panara Theatre at RIT/NTID. Andrew Solomon will be discussing his book "Far from the tree." it is free and open to the public.
Each chapter covers different identities that a child may have than his birth family including Deaf, Dwarf, Down Syndrome, Autism, Schizophrenia, Disability, Prodigies, Rape, Crime, Transgender. Should be an amazing talk.
