Hardback. Condition: New. The thrilling extreme sporting adventure of Free Solo meets the heartfelt honesty of growing up with autism depicted in Atypical in WITHOUT RESTRAINT (98,000 words), the story of a father's unlikely discovery of his son's prodigious talent for skiing that ultimately saved his son's life. Ryan DeLena's c…hildhood was a complicated one. When he was a toddler, he would launch into impassioned monologues from classic books and films, was fascinated by ventilation systems, and loved climbing the walls of his house-literally. His eidetic memory, penchant for brutal honesty, and defiance led to a diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder-a subclass of the autism spectrum. When public preschools weren't equipped to manage him, his parents, Rob and Mary Beth, enrolled him in a private "therapeutic" school program, a decision that locked Ryan into a school that relied on destructive methods of behavior modification-including painful physical restraints and extended isolation, practices that are still used in these programs to this day. Some teachers pinned him to the floor for prolonged periods of time, covered his mouth, and left him with rug burns. Ryan's noncompliance to these techniques ultimately led to the prescription of a variety of harmful antipsychotic medications encouraged by the school staff, and, further, to a two-week stay in a mental hospital to evaluate whether he should reside permanently in a treatment facility. Fortunately, when Ryan was seven years old, Rob made an impulsive decision to kill a few hours at a local ski hill. Within his first lesson, Ryan was barreling down black diamond slopes. By his twentieth day of skiing, Ryan was executing expert runs with 3,500 feet of vertical drop. Ryan's newfound obsession-and Rob's apparent death wish-led them to extreme ski runs around the world. With each skiing conquest, Ryan blossomed, and Rob learned not only to appreciate his son's strengths, but also to understand and accept his quirks. Soon, Ryan was no longer a child with a disability; he was a world-class ski mountaineer. Emboldened, Rob decided to fight the medical and educational "industrial complexes" over the decisions made about Ryan's care and school placement-and won. Written in two voices (Rob's in book and Ryan's in italics), WITHOUT RESTRAINT is a joint father-son memoir told with both pain and levity, struggle and strength, adventure and heart. It is the story of a misunderstood boy, a father's growth, and a shared love of the outdoors that formed their unbreakable bond. WITHOUT RESTRAINT will appeal to parents-particularly those of children with disabilities-and outdoor enthusiasts alike. From a marketing standpoint, Ryan is a highly regarded video blogger, whose skiing descents have around 150,000 views on YouTube and have been featured on Outside TV and the "Right This Minute" viral video show. He is also a regular contributor for the Ski the East and Ski the Whites brand pages. Rob and Ryan are committed to levera.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - As a child Ryan DeLena had difficulty controlling his emotional outbursts. This led to placement in therapeutic schools that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraints.Nothing helped from a team of doctors to heavy medication. Then in 2010, Ryan was voluntar…ily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. His parents Rob and Mary Beth were counseled to place him in a group home. They refused.Two years earlier, after an impulsive decision Rob had to take Ryan skiing, he discovered a different child than the version experts were so sure about. By his second day of skiing, Ryan was executing advanced runs, and with each conquest in the winters that followed, Rob began to question the path laid for his son by the professionals paid to judge him. He later convinced Mary Beth to fight the medical and educational complexes over Ryan's care and school placement, and together they fostered the freedom Ryan needed to pursue his dream of becoming a professional ski mountaineer.Written in two voices, Without Restraint is a joint father-son memoir told with both pain and levity, struggle and strength, adventure and heart. It is the story of a misunderstood boy, a father's growth, and a shared love of the outdoors that formed their unbreakable bond.
