Book Reviews of Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians

Book Review: Finally, autism information that makes sense!
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians

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.
