New York, NY: HarperCollins, 2002. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. NEW - COLLECTIBLE/Fine. BRAND NEW & Collectible. First Edition, First Printing. Bi-color boards/Fine. DJ/Fine. Reccounted by Southern Californian single-mother Debra Ginsbergt (author of Waiting), this is a moving personal story of parenting an extraordinary child, a biography of her son, within the context of what public schools, goodwill aside, was able to offer. Blaze never crawled but at one, just stood up and walked. At four he knew the complete works of Miles Davis, and, at five he had assigned colors to days of the week. YetBut along these gifts, Blaze suffered from emotional and behavoral issues. Entering kindergarten, school officials judged him "speech and language impaired" --- marking the first step in being removed from other students and shuttled from one expert therapist to the next. each certain he/she has the right diagnosis. A poignant & compelling story of raising an un-ordinary child in a social setting geared for the ordinary. Hard book to read, but does open one's mind. Blaze, now a grown man, writes himself and is available online. Autism was the culprit --- blessed for today's child now we know better how to help. A primary, historical resource in autism.
Sinopsis
When you have a child that doesn't fit in, what do you do? Debra Ginsberg knew that her son, Blaze, was unique from the moment he was born in 1987. What she didn't know was that Blaze's differences would be regarded by the outside world not as gifts, but as impediments to social and academic success. Blaze never crawled. He just got up and walked when he turned one. He called his mother 'Zsa Zsa' until he was three. By kindergarten, he loved the music of Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald. He fears butterflies and is fascinated by garbage trucks. With the same honesty that made Waiting a success, Raising Blaze: Bringing Up an Extraordinary Son in an Ordinary World chronicles Debra's experience in raising a child who has defied definition by the host of professionals who have sought to label his differences. Ginsberg introduces us to a remarkable child and her own unusual childhood. She writes about a family which shows us the redemptive power of faith, humour and love.
