The Long Ride Home: The Extraordinary Journey of Healing that Changed a Child's Life
Autor Rupert Isaacsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 2014
Rowan came back from the shamans in Mongolia a changed boy. The three most debilitating effects of his autism - his incontinence, his endless tantruming, and his inability to make friends - were gone.
But a year almost to the day since Rowan's improvement he started regressing: the accidents and tantrums reappeared, terrifying his father Rupert. Something had to be done.
Father and son embarked on a new quest, journeying from the bushmen of Namibia to the coastal rainforests of Queensland, Australia and finally to the Navajo reservations of the American southwest, where Rowan was transformed - they had begun the Long Ride Home.

be

of

itself
-
can
help
bring
an
autistic
child
from
near
total
darkness
out
into
the
world
