Library Item Name:

Woman writes book on son's recovery from autism 		   
Summary Statement:


Richie was suffering from a severe form of autism, and the doctors saw little hope that he would ever be able to lead a normal life.

Chrysler decided to ignore that advice, embarking instead on an intensive program of biomedical treatments and therapy for Richie.

"I basically decided to educate myself and learn everything I could about autism," said Chrysler, a Howell Township resident. "I went to a lot of medical conferences, picking up all the information that I could. I basically traveled from West Coast to East Coast gathering information."

Fast-forward to 2008, and Chrysler says that Richie (the grandson of former U.S. Rep. Dick Chrysler) is now cured of autism.

Richie's remarkable recovery prompted Chrysler to write "Autism: Recovery Against All Odds," a book that details his journey from an autistic 5-year-old to a normal 11-year-old who loves sports, fishing and computers.
