Healing Our Autistic Children: A Medical Plan for Restoring Your Child's Health de Julie A. Buckley

Healing Our Autistic Children: A Medical Plan for Restoring Your Child's Health

Autor Julie A. Buckley Jenny McCarthy Lynn Vannucci
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2009

Every 20 minutes a child is diagnosed with a disease on the autism spectrum--including ADD, learning disabilities, Asperger's, Autism, and PDD--making it today's most common childhood disability. While the medical establishment treats autism as a psychiatric condition and prescribes behaviorally based therapies, Dr. Julie A. Buckley argues that it is a physiological disease that must be medically treated.

Part personal story of her battle to heal her autistic daughter, part guide for parents, Healing Our Autistic Children explains simply and accessibly the new treatments and diets that have already proven effective for many families. Told through the case studies of her patients, the book is divided into four typical visits to Dr. Buckley's pediatric practice so that parents can see the progression of initial treatment. Written in a warmly engaging voice, parents new to the diagnosis will:
- learn about clinical treatments that work
- understand how different foods affect the body and how to begin implementing diets
- learn to navigate the medical system and advocate for their child
- bridge the communication gap with their pediatrician
- discover that recovery is possible

Caracteristici


A nationally prominent advocate of autism research, Jenny McCarthy's books are perennial sellers
Once a rare disease, autism now affects nearly 2 million American children, making it the most common developmental disability
Both a pediatrician specializing in autism and a mother whose daughter suffers from the disease, Buckley offers important information about remarkably effective treatment and a pesonal account of what treating her own child was like. This is an engaging narrative, giving reader both important content and an absorbing story of how a family dealt with the disease - the difficulties of implementing diets, the emotional toll on the family, but also the joy of recovery
Most books on the shelf are about how to integrate children with disorders socially. Here the focus is that treatment is necessary and that it's reasonable to expect recovery. As a physician who specializes in training other medical professionals Julie Buckley is uniquely positioned to talk about treatment that has proven effective for thousands
Buckley is involved in many grassroots and parent organizations that are active in autism education and treatment -  including HEAL! (Healing Every Autistic Life!), a non-profit foundation dedicated to spreading awareness of and supporting research about autism that is supported by Jenny McCarthy, and AMEN! (Autism Music Education Now!)
