Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism Audiobook

" This is a wonderful book about autism. Jenny writes about things that doctors did not tell her about. She did a lot of research along with talking to other mothers that had autistic children and found out lots of things that ended up helping her own child. I strongly encourage everyone to read this wether you have a child with autism or not. You are bound to know someone that does and may be able to help them with the info. you read in this book. "

" Having raised 2 boys will Autism, I know exactly what Jenny and other mothers go through. We have stay determained and fight for our autistic children. "

" This book was a little bit strange to me. I am really interested in autism as I am a teacher and come across children with autism frequently. I thought it might be interesting to read a celebrity's account of her son's autism. The beginning of the book was really good and drew me in to her story. But then she started to get a bit pushy about her ideas about the origin and treatment of autism. It almost seemed like the book was pushing a very specific agenda. Also, I was very confused about her definition of "God". One minute she is talking about God in a Christian/Catholic sense and then she is reading tarot cards, asking Mormons to pray over her son, and looking at various Eastern religions. I realize that there are many people who believe that all roads lead to God, but I was just caught off guard by her switching back and forth between very different religions with very different beliefs. Overall, I didn't consider the book to be a waste of time and her love for her son is very evident. However, I don't think I would necessarily recommend this book to others. "

" Emotional and completely genuine, Jenny is actually talking with you telling you the story of her ordeal with Evan's condition. I respect her so much for all of the things she brings to light in this book. "

" LOVED this book! as a special ed teacher, i like reading about autism and different people's experiences with it. this gives a real look into a child with autism. jenny mccarthy made it funny. its very touching and emotional, but also found myself laughing out loud at some points. "

" Great read for anyone who plans to immunize your child. It really makes you think. I had a long discussion with my pediatrician after reading this book! "

" every parent should read this book "

" we have some children with Autism in our Ward, so I'm trying to get some insight on the subject. Good information minus the foul language intermixed in her language "

" if you have ever heard the word autism you should read this book "

" Excellent read for anyone "

" This book is incredible. I loved it, it made me cry but if you have children i believe it is incredibly more difficult. "

" Although she is not really an expert, she tells her story in her own voice. I like that. "

" This is a must read for anyone who has a child with autism. "

" Interesting, but a lot of cussing. "

" I do agree children need healthy food and some even need restricted diets. I DO NOT agree that she cured her son of autism. It was a nice read though. "

" horrible, biased, awful. so many better books out there on Autism that are actually helpful and don't go about looking for a "cure", but rather helping your child reach his/her full potential. Last book you should read if you want to waste your time reading it at all. "

" Good book. Her style is a little crass and gritty for me, but the humor she injects makes it engaging. Also, there's no denying her passion towards helping her son, which all moms can relate to. "

" I'm always drawn to books about autism. I liked Jenny's perspective on how autism has become a part of her life. This was an easy read. "

" This book changed my life. I started my oldest son on the GFCF diet and it launched us into biomedical treatment for Autism. I love Jenny McCarthy and I admire her. This is a must read if you are considering (DO IT!!) biomedical for your child! "

" Not a literary masterpiece but I resonated with her experience, frustration and drive. "

" This was truly inspiring. I am so thankful for this book. This book helped put me on the right path to healing my son. He has made so many inmprovments since I first read this and started implementing GFCF diet and supplements. Very, very, inspiring. "

" I recommend this book to anyone interested in Autism. Although I will pre-warn that this is not a "how-to guide" for treating Autism. It's simply Jenny's story about her son Evan and what has worked for him. "

" Great book. I related to it. "

" I read this book in one day. I could really relate to this book. The book is really easy to read. If you have a child with autism, you'd enjoy this book. It isnt anything ground breaking just easy and familiar. "

" I love Jenny McCarthy -- a great advocate for autism research, funding & prevention! "

" This is a great book! Jenny shows the feelings a parent goes through when your child is ill and gives her side of the story to help parents see they aren't the only ones struggling with autism. "

" This should be read by all moms and moms to be, regardless if you have a child in the spectrum. "

" This book hit home. I cried reading her stories about her son because it reminded me of the things I go through with my Autistic son. I got alot of great ideas from this book. It is a must read, I give it 5 out of 5 stars "

" Not helpful at all. There are better books out there. "

" Great book about being a mother with a son diagnosed with Autism! "

" Jenny McCarthy is a woman after my own heart. The reader feels her pain. What a great woman! "

" Poignant, powerfully moving. Jenny's tireless fight against the system, perserverence, determination and love for her son is admirable & what I hope all children with any special need receive - a fighting champion on their side. "
