Product Description
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 Evans room and found him having a seizure. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan untilafter many harrowing, life-threatening episodesone 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 childs life and happiness.

I thought this was a great, easy read. Jenny McCarthy was so candid about the ups and downs of her experiences with bad and good doctors. It was comforting knowing I'm not alone. I would highly recommend!

I have spent many many hours in the UofG (University of Google) and could relate to this book 100% I could not put it down and finished it in a few hours. My son does not have any diagnosis at this point and may or may not have autism, but it gives so much hope for the future. Alternative medicines have been overlooked by the medical community for so long, I love that this book opens people's eyes to more possibilities than just what they've been told by Drs. I have 2 autistic nephews and my SIL is doing some of the treatments with her children that Jenny did with her son. Sometimes knowing that other people are in your same position is all it takes to keep chugging along. I read another review that pretty much said google and mothers instinct is not as good as what Drs will tell you. Well, doctors don't know everything. That is why it's called "practicing medicine". Mother's instinct is right most of the time, even if the scientific evidence isn't there to support that. I feel rejuvinated having read this. Definitely recommended to anyone with a special needs child, or anyone who loves a special needs child.
