In Changing the Course of Autism, Dr. Bryan Jepson and Jane Johnson reveal the biological and neurological conditions behind autism spectrum disorders. Foreword by Katie Wright, daughter of the founders of Autism Speaks Rather than simply masking symptoms with drugs like Ritalin and Prozac, Dr. Bryan Jepson and Jane Johnson explain that autism can be treated by reducing the neurological inflammation that is part of the disease process. The authors have seen autistic behaviors improve dramatically or disappear completely with appropriate medical treatment. The book reviews the medical literature regarding the biological nature of the disease, including the potential connection between vaccines and autism. ?This book will be the new PDR of autism for parents and physicians. Incredibly well referenced and easy to understand, it challenges long-held beliefs about this condition and introduces us to the new medical model of autism. An important book that every professional and family member who deals with autism must own.? ?Lee Grossman, former president and CEO, Autism Society of America ?The idea that the suffering of autism could be rooted in environmental injuries poses a huge challenge to medicine, science and society. Opening our hearts and minds to fresh thinking is the only way forward. Dr. Jepson?s information-filled book moves the reader through the discomfort of painful news to a framework for constructive responses.? ?Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D., co-author of The Autism Revolution ?The parent of an autistic child, Jepson encourages physicians and parents to view autism ?as a medical illness, not just a behavior disorder.? He discusses the neurological, gastrointestinal, genetic, and environmental issues that complicate our understanding of autism.? ?Library Journal
