What responsibilities do we, as citizens and human beings, have to one another? Who should decide for those who cannot decide for themselves? What is the meaning of religion to someone with no abstract language? Exploring these questions, \u003ci\u003eWe Walk\u003c\/i\u003e directly—and humanly—examines social issues such as inclusion, religion, therapeutics, and friendship through the lens of severe autism. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a world where public perception of autism is largely shaped by the \"quirky geniuses\" featured on television shows like \u003ci\u003eThe Big Bang Theory\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Good Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWe Walk\u003c\/i\u003e demands that we center our debates about this disorder on those who are most affected by its impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
