I want to buy a book on Austism with information like what is autism exactly, what to expect, what are the treatments available and parenting tips for parents. And also one that is uplifting.
Jenny McCarthy books have been my inspiration since I found out in August that my son is autistic!!
There are many who thinks she is a nutjob but tell that to the parents that use the method she chose and now has some sort of peace in their homes, lives, but most importantly their children that are affected with autism!!
You have to know what to do for your own family.
I will say I agree 100% with what Jenny says in her books, interviews, radio/talk shows, ect.
I would also like to know why these darn doctors don’t tell us parents when they are diagnosed with autism about these treatments and other resources, like DAN! doctors?? Even if they say that there is a 50/50 chance it will work, and it is a life changing process that requires 100% commitment to it. But that should be OUR choice as their parents, but to have to find out about this elsewhere is just rediculous!!!
If it wasn’t for Jenny’s books then I know I wouldn’t know about these treatments and other resources!! I, like her, was basiclly told “SORRY YOUR SON HAS AUTISM, THERE’S NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A NICE LIFE!!”
They say it’s because there is no scientific proof but isn’t that what science is about, finding things that wasn’t known before by research ect.
Where did they come up with vaccines and other medications and treatments for other illnesses and diseases?? They did research and “expierments” and such to find answers!! Why don’t they do the same thing with these alternative treatments, gluten-free diet, ( which we are going to be starting our son on within the next couple weeks), ect.

I don’t think you should limit yourself to one book. Go to the library and and check out several. When you find one that you feel will be the most helpful, then buy it. One book will probably not give you all of the information that you are looking for, so you should try several.
Good Luck!

The Source for Austism! Fantastic book.
Louder than Words by Jenny McCarthy. I have not read it (as I don’t children with autism), but it’s on my list to order from Amazon. I have heard great things about the book from other friends.
