Jean-Louis Fournier was born in 1938 in Arras in a family with a doctor father and an editor mother. He is a satirical writer and television director, having made a name for himself with the works: Grammaire française et impertinente (1992), Il a jamais tué personne mon papa (1999), Les mots des riches, les mots des pauvres ( 2004). At the age of 2006, with “Daddy, I’m going?”, the first time Jean-Louis Fournier wrote about his two disabled sons, also dedicated to them. The pervasive power of this moving true story helped the author win the 2008 Fémina Award and stay on the best-seller charts for weeks.

Daddy, I’m going? It’s a sad story and more than sad but not filled with tears. The book makes the reader feel pain everywhere but not buried deep in sentimentality. Because that’s how Jean-Louis Fournier chose throughout his life as a father. Resentment, lamentation of life, madness or sadness… can’t help but be in the presence of two boys who always take tranquilizers every day to keep quiet. Children with poor eyesight, deaf ears, club feet, hunchback, weak bones. A kid who only knows the same question over and over again “Daddy, I’m going?”. A child who thinks he is an engine all the time, so he keeps saying “bm, bm”… Living in that world, what should a father do?

He, Jean-Louis Fournier does not hide the distraught moments he once drank and then drove like crazy hoping for an accident to happen, once intended to throw his children out the window. He never claimed to be an angel to endure so much heartbreak. But the father did not give up. Or rather, two disabled children urged him to overcome. That’s how fathers look at extreme trials with a different set of eyes. It is the humor in the bitter things. He saw that his children did not have to go to school, did not have to listen to lectures, did not have to take tests, did not have to be punished. He saw himself asking his children to drive big cars, avoid paying fines, have money from their children’s disability allowance, not have to worry about their future career direction…

But it may be the subtle nuances of the language we use that hinder the development of healthy views about autism in children.
