Em Vida animada, Ron Suskind conta como seu filho Owen, diagnosticado com autismo aos três anos, voltou a se conectar com o mundo através de animações da Disney.
Esta é a história de Owen, um menino que pouco antes de completar três anos fecha-se em seu próprio mundo. Transtornados com a mudança repentina e radical, os pais tentam se reconectar com o filho autista. Três anos depois, numa brincadeira com um fantoche do Iago de Aladdin, Ron, imitando a voz do personagem, pergunta: "Então, Owen, como vão as coisas?". A resposta é estarrecedora: "Não estou feliz. Não tenho amigos. Não entendo o que as pessoas dizem". A partir daí, abre-se um canal de comunicação totalmente inusitado: através das animações da Disney, a que Owen assiste compulsivamente, a família vai conseguir se aproximar de seus sentimentos. Neste livro, Ron Suskind nos oferece um olhar radicalmente novo sobre o autismo. Em vez das limitações e incapacidades de Owen, suas conquistas são as linhas mestras dessa emocionante narrativa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um ensino sobre o autismo e seus desafios
Reviewed in Brazil on March 31, 2021

O livro relata o modo como Owen Suskind, portador de autismo e filho do autor, se utiliza de filmes e personagens Disney para fazer valer sua diferença e se colocar no mundo. Também nos mostra como os pais manifestam uma flexibilidade e uma abertura decisivas para a solução encontrada pelo filho. Leitura importante para quem se interessa pelo tema do autismo ou por como desafios muitas vezes considerados intransponíveis não deixam de ser enfrentados, e sempre à medida das diferenças e da subjetividade de cada um.

Belíssima história de uma família, assim como uma apresentação elucidativa acerca do autismo. Ademais, Ron Suskind sabe usar as palavras de uma forma tão bela, tão poética. Leitura recomendadíssima para familiares de autistas, mas também para todos os que se interessam pelo ser humano
