Despre carte

""Part of the torture of autism is that the future is so impossibly unsure. Your child might become a fully functioning member of society and appear no different than anyone else, even if he does have to look at mouths instead of eyes and can't stand to give his own kids a bath.

" Autism is a national epidemic that affects 1 in 68 children. When Jennifer Noonan's children were diagnosed, she decided to fight, beginning a lifelong journey into the latest science, medical treatments, and dietary interventions.

She will end the listless stares and restore her children's ability to communicate. What follows is her gripping, but also wryly funny, multi-year journey into the latest science and treatments in order to rescue her kids and her family from autism.
