Without restraint

In this episode, we have two guests, Robert and Ryan Delena, a father and son who wrote a book about Ryan's struggles with his condition and how skiing saved his life. As a child, Ryan had difficulty controlling his emotions and was placed in therapeutic schools that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraint. Nothing helped from a team of doctors to heavy medication. Then in 2010, he was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. Robert and his wife were counseled to place him in a group home. They refused. 

Everything changed when they went on a trip and they took Ryan skiing, and saw how his behavior exponentially changed, and that Ryan had a passion, and he had something he was good at, and that overall he was just misunderstood.
