Andrew Solomon Quotes

The Children I Describe Here Have Horizontal Conditions That Are Alien To Their Parents. They Are Deaf Or Dwarfs; They Have Down Syndrome, Autism, Schizophrenia, Or Multiple Severe Disabilities; They Are Prodigies; They Are People Conceived In Rape Or Who Commit Crimes; They Are Transgender. The Timeworn Adage Says That The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree, Meaning That A Child Resembles His Or Her Parents; These Children Are Apples That Have Fallen Elsewhere - Some A Couple Of Orchards Away, Some On The Other Side Of The World. Yet Myriad Families Learn To Tolerate, Accept, And Finally Celebrate Children Who Are Not What They Originally Had In Mind.
