The New York Times bestseller that is an inspiring “story of hope” (People) for parents of autistic children

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 having a seizure. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until—after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes—one good doctor discovered that Evan is autistic.

With a foreword from Dr. David Feinberg, medical director of the Resnick Neuro-psychiatric Hospital at UCLA, and an introduction by Jerry J. Kartzinel, a top pediatric autism specialist, Louder Than Words follows Jenny as she discovered an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism. Her story sheds much-needed light on autism through her own heartbreak, struggle, and ultimately hopeful example of how a parent can shape a child’s life and happiness.

Customer Rating:
Summary: This book is to Autism as "Belly Laughs" was for Pregnancy
Comment: ...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.

The sad thing about McCarthy's books is that if you read "Belly Laughs", you'll see a book full of misinformation, with a light-hearted approach to a sound diet and healthy eating which may well have ended up playing a part in her son's autism. This book is more of the same - she's essentially capitalising of her son's health problems which in the end maye well have come down to her own lack of knowledge and her dismissal of a sound diet and healthy eating which is so evident in her earlier book.

Personally, if you want to read this, I'd borrow it from the Library and spend your money on a more informative book about Autism, ADHD and ADD, something like Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders for example.

Summary: Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey of Heailng Autism
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: 0 Stars, this book is garbage
Comment: 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.
