Book Reviews of Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism
Book Review: louder than words: critic.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book, and found it very inspiring. I, myself, had a stroke at the age of 5. I could re-see my mother in Jenny, brave, courageous, tenacious.
I, now, since 25 yrs,am a special ed teacher. And yes, I worked i L.A. with autistic kides.As a matter iof fact, my first job was at the age of 20 yrs old, with an autistic girl:Nancy. I'll never forget her.
I applaude Jenny, the mother, and all the parents of handicapped children. You' re doing a fantasic job!
Summary of Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism
The New York Times bestseller that is an inspiring "story of hope" (People) for parents of autistic childrenOne 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.
