Here,Strange reveals how Ridges journey brought her toreach into the depths of her character to find thatmiracle for her son. The miracle of Ridges ability to control histhoughts and actions came with many months ofdetermination and hard work. There is no easyfi x or simple answer that I can share. I believehis recovery, as he calls it, is due to manyfactors that, combined, enabled me to changemy perspective, which, in turn, affected him, theauthor said. I want to make it very clear that Ridgeis not suddenly neurotypical. The differenceis that he has an effective coping strategy thatenables him to live a more connected lifestyle. It is my belief that each successful challenge heovercomes physically changes his brain. This inturn makes the next step easier. Keeping up withchallenges that are still safe is quite a task.
