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 and powerful 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?
On the issue of universal love and yet-to-achieve universal acceptance of individuals' identities, be they gays, lesbians, dwarves or deaf, Solomon's speech is different. Not aided with any slideshow or props, the speech is captivating and quietly moving.
