About: The book is a result of the phenomenal success of her first book dealing with her son's autism - Louder Than Words. This book is a collection of stories of parents she's encountered who tried to do the same - fight the hard battle against the formidable opponent called autism.

What I think about the book:
Praises for Jenny McCarthy's Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds!! In a world when people are used to conforming with the crowd, In her book - Louder Than Words, Jenny McCarthy went the other way and opted to use her voice to tell the world what the traditional medicine is blatantly trying to ignore.

When you have a child in the spectrum, the ride will take you from denial, anger, frustration and sadly for others - resignation. What's even more sad is the fact that parents who accepts the notion that autism is a life-long condition do so at the advise of their doctors and pediatricians and even child therapists. In this book, you will find hope. As there have been others who decided to defy that notion and went through hell and back to recover their children back from the clutches of autism.

The book will give you the courage to begin that journey towards healing your child. It is absolutely difficult and draining in ALL ASPECTS - financially, physically, emotionally. But strap in for the ride because at the end of the road is a very rewarding destination - your child, healthy and free of autism, free to be his own person.

At the end of the book comes a list of DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) practitioners for each state and programs and treatments normally suggested along with an explanation on why and how it helps the child recover.

To say that I am grateful for the author and the parents who shared their stories is an understatement. If you have a child on the spectrum you can not not have this book!
