Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

If someone you love is diagnosed with autism, Louder than Words is the first book you should read.

One morning, Jenny McCarthy was having a cup of coffee when she sensed something was wrong. She ran into her two-year-old son Evans room and found him seizing. In that moment, Jenny went from being the mother of an average toddler to being in the midst of a medical odyssey. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes later one amazing doctor discovered that Evan is autistic.

Though Evan finally had a diagnosis, Jenny didn't know what to do next and she soon found herself alone without any resources except for her determination to help her son. Jenny eventually realized that shed have to become a detective. She spoke with many doctors, parents, governmental agencies, private foundations, and essentially earned a Phd. in Google Research. At last, she discovered an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism. And, now in this book, she creates a roadmap for parents who are concerned about their own child.

Jenny does more than just reveal the winning formula that worked for Evan. Her story shares the frustrations and joys of raising an autistic child and shows how with love and determination a parent can shape their child's life and happiness.

Review:

"Jenny McCarthy takes us on journey of a mom dealing with her sons Autism diagnosis and treatment. We learn what it is like to be a parent and have your dreams shattered. We learn about a disease and about how others dealing with similar circumstances can aid one another. We learn about alternative approaches that seem promising. We learn about healing, hope, and faith." David Feinberg, from the foreword, MD, MBA, Medical Director, Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA
