Aspergers Miracle tells the triumphant story of Ridge, a boy who has overcome many negative symptoms of Aspergers syndrome. Told through a mothers point of view, this book details Ridges journey from birth to "recovery" as Ridge calls it. From a sensitive infancy and delicate early life, Strange relates the sacrifi ces, struggles, and hard work that they, as a family, went through to give their child a normal life. From diagnosis, to medications and therapies, she shares the methods and the most effective therapy they found for Ridge. Here, Strange reveals how Ridges journey brought her to reach into the depths of her character to find that miracle for her son. The miracle of Ridges ability to control his thoughts and actions came with many months of determination and hard work. There is no easy fi x or simple answer that I can share. I believe his recovery, as he calls it, is due to many factors that, combined, enabled me to change my perspective, which, in turn, affected him, the author said. I want to make it very clear that Ridge is not suddenly neurotypical. The difference is that he has an effective coping strategy that enables him to live a more connected lifestyle. It is my belief that each successful challenge he overcomes physically changes his brain. This in turn makes the next step easier. Keeping up with challenges that are still safe is quite a task.
