Product Description

Review

'Jonathan and Polly Tommey have written a book that will be of immense support to parents who have an autistic child or who are concerned that their child may be autistic. Sadly the numbers of children with autism has risen alarmingly making this book more relevant than ever. Their book is packed full of practical advice based on their own experience of bringing up their own autistic son. As a doctor I completely endorse the advice to avoid giving children treatments such as antibiotics unless absolutely necessary and to question doctors: we do not know everything and are not always right!' --Dr Richard Halvorsen, author of THE TRUTH ABOUT VACCINES

Book Description

A practical guide for parents which blends the authors' personal experience of bringing up their autistic son as well as Jon's professional experience as a nutritional therapist specialising in autism.

Essential Reading 22 April 2011
Format:Paperback
This book is really easy to read, not too scientific but very factual. It is a must for any parent with a child on the autism spectrum, but would also be useful for other family members, teachers, medical students etc. to get a much better understanding of how to improve the life of a child with autism. The book is divided into manageable sections enabling you to 'delve in and out' as you wish. I could really relate to so much of what Polly had written and found the book to be both helpful and reassuring.

wonderful book 29 July 2011
Format:Paperback
I would recommend this book for any parent who has a child on the autistic spectrum.Jon and Polly Tommey have dedicated there life towards helping there son Billy and have had wonderful results, they have over the last few years used there expertise to help other children ( mine included) . The ratio of children on the autistic spectrum is 1:59 , and no doubt will increase , the government need to listen to people like Jon & Polly , they may even save some money!?!
The Autism File magazine is also a very useful read, there are many therapies and interventions that can help children with A.S.D.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
this is a very informative book, its taking me some time to read as some of it is very heavy reading and some medical background would be helpful! The personal story that goes with the book is lovely!
