Now in paperback: A top expert offers a new<br />
<strong>view</strong> of autism spectrum disorders—including<br />
the latest findings on prevention and treatment.<br />
The question Dr. Robert Melillo is asked over and over again is: Why?<br />
Why is this happening? Why did it happen to my child? What can we<br />
do about it as a society—and what can I do to help my child? In this<br />
candid, practical, and research-based book, Dr. Melillo presents the<br />
latest, scientific explanation for how we got here, and proven, drug-<br />
free strategies that parents with autistic children can employ. With<br />
honesty and compassion, he covers the role of environmental, genetic,<br />
and lifestyle factors, dispelling myths about autism and replacing them<br />
with scientific evidence. In addition, he presents early warning signs,<br />
a prevention plan for parents-to-be, and an intervention program for<br />
babies and children who have already been diagnosed.<br />
