It profiles three families—the Cullens, the Pirozzis, and the Siegmans—whose children exhibit severe intellectual disabilities, minimal language, and behaviors such as aggression, self-injury, and elopement. Despite autism’s growing visibility, those with profound autism are marginalized, with political debates often overlooking their urgent need for intensive, lifelong care. The article also examines various care settings, from under-resourced group homes to specialized residential programs like Matthias Academy, emphasizing the critical role of dedicated caregivers and the pressing need for expanded, well-funded services tailored to this population. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Nonfiction Work src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Virginia Quarterly Review is the property of Virginia Quarterly Review and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
