Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism

Product Description:
If someone you love is diagnosed with autism, LOUDER THAN WORDS is the first book you should read.

One morning, Jenny McCarthy was having a cup of coffee when she sensed something was wrong. She ran into her two-year-old son Evan’s room and found him seizing. In that moment, Jenny went from being the mother of an average toddler to being in the midst of a medical odyssey. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until—after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes later—one amazing doctor discovered that Evan is autistic.

Though Evan finally had a diagnosis, Jenny didn’t know what to do next and she soon found herself alone without any resources except for her determination to help her son. Jenny eventually realized that she’d have to become a detective. She spoke with many doctors, parents, governmental agencies, private foundations, and essentially earned a Phd in “Google Research.” At last, she discovered an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism.And, now in this book, she creates a roadmap for parents who are concerned about their own child.

Jenny does more than just reveal the winning formula that worked for Evan. Her story shares the frustrations and joys of raising an autistic child and shows how with love and determination a parent can shape their child’s life and happiness.

Rating: - This book is to Autism as "Belly Laughs" was for Pregnancy
...and unfortunately both seem to be treated as serious by readers rather than the "light" reads that they are. It's nice to know she helped her child make a recovery from autism. However, much of what she's written is pretty lightweight, and while it may give other parents hope (and there's nothing wrong with that), it's certainly nothing to base a recovery plan from autism on. Smilarly to "Belly Laughs", which was good for a laugh, but certainly not a reference on which you'd wish to base a pregancy. ... Read More

An easy read makes this book a summer hit.Very informative for those who want to learn what it is like to live with an autistic child.Jenny McCarthy gives us a personal and candid view into the world of autism.
Rating: - 0 Stars, this book is garbage
Please, please please do not listen to people like Jenny McCarthy who do not have science on their side.I know parents want answers as to why we have devastating diseases like Autism but pointing a finger at vaccines is irresponsible and unsafe.
