Evolution of a Revolution: Autism and the Path from Hope to Healing

by Helen Conroy, Laura Hirsch (Compiler)

This book is a collection of stories about the real secret life of several autism mothers, detailing their stress, their joys, their tears, their laughter, and their disappointments. They describe the struggles they have faced in battling the schools, the state, the media, public opinion, and the medical community that believes autism is a psychological condition rather than a treatable medical disorder. Most importantly, this book reveals the truth behind the causes of autism and offers accounts of real recoveries from a disease that is supposed to be a lifelong disability.

These heart-rending and, ultimately, inspirational accounts offer support, practical advice, and spiritual strength to families dealing with autism. They remind the readers that no matter how hopeless their struggle may seem, recovery is within reach.

Another great book by the TMR (Thinking Mom's Revolution).
This is a great compilation of personal accounts of journeys through autism (as well as various other diagnosis'). The trials of these families are unfathomable. However, for me, their paths to recovery make such sense. Diet modification, biomedical treatment, environmental changes- overall limiting our children (and ourselves) to the toxins that are not integrated into every facet of our daily lives.
As a person who's family is not directly impacted by autism, it was interesting to read about treatments/therapies that are helping families around the world recovery from their injuries. I love that this book offers not only hope, but also connections and paths for so many other families in need.
Well done TMR families!
