À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Jonathan and Polly Tommey's eldest son, Billy, was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of two. Today, Billy is a high-functioning teenager - thanks to his parents' determination to discover as much as possible about autism, its causes and potential treatments.

In this invaluable guide, Jonathan and Polly share their experiences to give you the confidence and knowledge to tackle the problems you face, and find solutions, treatments and educational opportunities that will work for your child.

Contents include: getting a diagnosis; the gut-brain connection; tests and treatment; the link with toxins; diet and nutrition; health and well-being; coping as a family; educational approaches; choosing a school; looking to the future; and a comprehensive resources section.

Practical and positive, this book provides much-needed support, advice and encouragement for parents of children on the autism spectrum.

'Jonathan and Polly Tommey have written a book that will be of immense support to parents. Sadly the numbers of children with autism has risen alarmingly making this book more relevant than ever' Dr Richard Halvorsen, author of The Truth About Vaccines
