Treating Autism Parent Stories of Hope and Success

"Hopeless." "Untreatable." That's what families once heard from the doctors who diagnosed their children as autistic--and that's what many families still hear today. Thanks to dramatic breakthroughs in biomedical treatments, a large majority of autistic children can improve dramatically, and many can recover. The Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) Project is at the forefront of a treatment revolution that is dramatically changing the outlook for children with autism. This book tells the stories of many families who have successfully used the biomedical treatments advocated to DAN! to rescue their children from autism. You will read the stories of doctors who have abandoned the "drug and institutionalize" approach to autism in favor of safe and effective biomedical treatments that correct the underlying causes. This book includes ratings of various biomedical treatments (e.g., drugs, supplements, diets), the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), and a Resource section. Autism has reached epidemic proportions. If you are fighting to save your child from autism, this book offers you two messages: you are not alone in your fight... and you can win. These stories, told by parents in their own words, will give you hope and encouragement, and will provide you with the information you need to help your child.Edelson, Stephen M. is the author of 'Treating Autism Parent Stories of Hope and Success' with ISBN 9780974036007 and ISBN 0974036005.
