Book Reviews of Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism
Book Review: WOW Jenny points the way to help for our spectrum kids! THANKS
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I was nervous about reading the book, still in denial about PDD NOS for my daughter. I couldn't put it down once I started. I could relate to the behaviors Evan displayed. While my daughter is not as extreme, it affects your life and marriage. Jenny tells it like it is. She inspired me to get up and stop with the pity party and do something. OT and Speech was doing very little good, she had maxed out after 2 years of both. She started the GFCF diet and saw remarkable results, then got the probiotics and SNT from Kirkman Labs. More improvement. I wanted the B12 shots, but did not have access to a DAN doctor. We moved a couple of months later and I made an appointment with a DAN before we even found a house in the new state we moved to. That was more important than the house hunting. I would have moved anywhere to be near a DAN. Jenny's book got me so excited that I could dare to hope for healing my daughter. When the DAN brought up the shots, I said can we leave with them today! She laughed and said I was the first parent that did not have a look of terror at the thought of giving shots. I was not looking forward to giving them, but wanted to see if she would be a responder. She is a responder and has seen an explosion in her reciprocal language and awareness of us. She cries now when Daddy leaves for work, she didn't even notice before the shots. We are on our 15th shot and 2 months into DAN treatment. We are fighting yeast and the yeast die off symptoms, but at least we are doing something and there is hope to get through this. Read this book, no matter how you feel about Jenny, she's been there done that. I don't care about her ranting or criticism of the medical community, I am mad too. Read as a how to get started book if you are still in denial, read it to reinvigorate your efforts if you are already treating with biomedicine. The point is do something. It is easy to get mired down in pity. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed. Remember 1 in 150 kids are afflicted with a spectrum disorders, that is better odds than a scratch off lottery ticket. Jenny's point is there is so much more help out there, besides traditional therapy. She's not telling you how to treat your kid she is just pointing and saying that way, you have so much to gain . Hope this helps, we are on our way and I have Jenny to Thank!
Also read Dr Bocks book Healing the 4A's cover to cover, refer to it all the time. Great book too.
