I am not a biochemist or a doctor, so the start of the book at times was a bit too technical but I really liked that the books goes in depth on the issues and then tries to give some examples to try to make it easier to digest. Towards the end there are several parent testimonials, including one of a psychiatrist who used this approach with his son and now uses it with other children. I found this testimonial very interesting and powerful.When my son was first diagnosed with autism as for most parents it was a roller coaster ride in trying to get the right treatment plan for my son, he has tried some of the traditionally anti-psychotic drugs prescribed to ASD kids and does not do well on them at all. I also feel they only mask symptoms, they are obviously no silver bullet for autism but are probably required for some cases and this is where as a parent we work with our physicians to assess the risks of any treatment plan for our kids.I read about the biological treatment and asked both my son's pediatrician and neurologist about the diet and neither really had any encouraging words about it but said I could try it if I liked.I tried to start by implementing the diet and started by taking out milk, four days after it was removed his eye contact improved and he started to speak more words. I would later find out after allergy testing that my son has a milk allergy so it would make sense that I would see an improvement. I also did get frustrated with his docs because apparently it is very common for ASD kids to have allergies, I didn't know this until I started reading on biological treatments...why didn't his conventional docs tell me this to get him tested earlier!!!He didn't have an allergy to gluten, so I didn't see any reason to take that out but decided to try anyway. It was horrible, his autistic behaviors worsened so I caved and brought it back. I was later to find out that the reason this happened is because some of the GFCF products I was using contained Tapioca or Amaranth which he has an allergy to. Several months later...he caught a stomach virus so he was pretty much on liquids for a couple of days, I decided to try again making sure to only include foods he doesn't have an allergy to. After a week of removing gluten his shadow teacher at school sent me a photo because Daniel was playing with all his classmates for about 45 mins, I was amazed how taking gluten out even though he has no allergy to it made such a big difference. His speach also started to pick up again.This is why I purchased the book, to investigate in more detail these treatments. What I regret is not being more persistent on trying to remove gluten earlier...every time I would read an article claiming there wasn't any real foundation to these treatments made me ease off on trying them. HOW MUCH I REGRET THAT!!!I have no reason to believe that any of the parents who share both their good and bad experiences with the diet would lie. Austim is so complex, some treatments work well for some kids and not so well for others.Obviously it is important as a parent to assess all treatment options both alternative or traditional and do a risk assessment and decide what is best for your son and your family...but the diet is something that can be done without that much risk with the exception of the calcium supplementation which is important. I would highly recommend anyone to try it or at least give it serious thought and discuss with your pediatrician.The reason I found the psychiatrist's testimonial so powerful is because he states something very important which has to do with the importance of trying to retrieve speech before a certain age otherwise later it may be more difficult. This is a hard truth.Why did I choose this rating? Autism is so complex and the subject of biological treatments has been so polarizing, I think this book does a GREAT job of trying to explain the basis of this. It doesn't go in to all of the biological treatments out there, but it covers some of the most critical ones.What did I like or dislike? I liked obviously that it goes in to the biomedical treatment; it obviously doesn't say much of other conventional treatment options because that isn't in the scope of the book..but as a parent obviously it would have been of added value.Who would you recommend this product to? ALL parents of a child on the autism spectrum and even those with ADD/ADHD or schizophrenia as they mention a study there.I just want to reiterate that it is important to work very closely with a doctor that you trust for ANY treatment plan for an ASD child. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes one have hope *by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2009* Our son has PDD, primarily Speech delay, and we were looking for something that would advise us as to what would be beneficial for him, past his 5 days a week of school, 3 days a week of Speech therapy, and two days of Occupational Therapy.
