Product Description
A decade ago, autism was a rare disease--today, most Americans know a family with an autistic child. Autism is now epidemic, currently affecting half a million American children, or 1 in 150. This makes it the most common developmental disability--more common than Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation combined. Autism is growing at a startling rate of 10-17 percent per year, which means that the disease could reach several million Americans in the next decade. Changing the Course of Autism has the potential to revolutionize the way this disease is perceived and managed by showing that autism can be treated as a medical disease, rather than a behavioral disorder. In this groundbreaking book, the authors explain that reducing neurological inflammation improves autistic behaviors dramatically, making a profound impact on the health and future of affected children and their families. |

Finally, autism information that makes sense! by jmj (WA USA) 5 Stars
May 18, 2009
The information in this book makes sense, and matches my experience of raising a child on the spectrum. That child is now an adult, and we're doing the best we can with this information to see to it that her child stays off the spectrum. Like others posting here, I've purchased extra copies and have a hard time keeping even one in my library. I "loan" them out, and replace them.

a little clinical by B. Malangoni  3 Stars
April 13, 2009
I found this book to be informative but a little too clinical and scientific. I did read all of it, and I guess that I wanted some definitive answers about what worked in the treatement...more anecdotal evidence, I guess. But, if you want to know a lot about vitamins and what they do to heal the body, this is a great book.

This is an incredible book! by Roo's Mom (Portland, OR) 5 Stars
November 07, 2008
This book went way beyond my expectations. It is packed with evidence-based care for children with autism spectrum disorders, care that in some cases can lead to full recovery. It is shocking how much we actually do know about autism and it's causes and treatments, despite what we hear in the media. There is a lot of excellent research, published in top peer-reviewed medical journals, that is simply ignored by mainstream medicine. Many doctors are simply unaware that this research exists at all. Some doctors, such as the author, don't settle for the standard "no one knows what causes it and there's nothing we can do" party line- an opinion which is NOT based in evidence. the issues underlying Autism Spectrum Disorders are extremely complex though, so be warned. Each child is unique and there is no "road map" to recovery, but this book may help you understand what your child needs and where to keep looking for help. Looking for answers doesn't guarantee that you will find them, but NOT looking pretty much guarantees that you won't!

Best MTHFR synopsis I have found by Janet Bryant (Richland, WA) 5 Stars
September 07, 2008
This book is NOT only for parents with autistic children. People who have "leaky gut" syndrome, and genetic defects associated with MTHFR NEED to get this book as a resource for understanding. Best description of leaky gut and C677 and T1298 I have found yet outside medical literature.
