Editorial Review:
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 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.
Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism Reviews:
Rollercoaster Ride of Emotion 
2009-12-13 - My nephew was diagnosed as being on "the autism spectrum," so I've been reading up as much as I can. This one I devoured in a DAY! Even if you don't know anyone who is autistic, if you've ever been a parent, you can identify with her deep love, with her worry, with the emergencies and heartbreak that come up! VERY GOOD!!!

2009-09-20 - Awesome book- very easy to read. An amazing story that prompts me to look for more information.
Up-front and honest, A mom's ordeal with her son and autism.
2009-08-31 - Such a help for me to read this. Good to see Jenny's opinions on causes and treatments of autism. I know they are shared by many. She writes a story of victory over autism and how much work needs to be done by the professionals who treat this disease. A must read.
Excellent in every way. Finally someone to speak out against vaccines.
2009-08-03 - This is a great book and I love that the author was willing to go against the health care system. I don't understand people who think doctors are gods. What are the secrets that doctors have that we "common folk" don't have access to? I have a number of degrees, none of which are in the medical field, but I can't imagine that there is anything I know that couldn't be found in a book or on the internet. I understand the need to have doctors and I'm very thankful for people who specialize in different fields, but just because someone becomes a lawyer or a doctor doesn't mean that they are good at what they do.
