Raising Blaze

A Mother And Son's Long, Strange Journey Into Autism

BY DEBRA GINSBERG

Brief Description:
Debra Ginsberg knew that her son was unique from the moment he was born. Blaze never crawled; at age one he simply stood up and walked. By the time he was four, he knew the complete works of Miles Davis. At five, he assigned colors to the days of the week. But from his first day of kindergarten, Blaze was considered a "problem" in the classroom. All his life he's defied diagnosis by a host of experts who have sought to label him. Ginsberg interweaves her moving personal story and tales of her hard-fought battles with schools and medical professionals to create a book that speaks to all parents.
