The Thinking Moms’ Revolution – Autism Beyond The Spectrum: Inspiring True Stories From Parents Fighting To Rescue Their Children
“The Thinking Moms’ Revolution is in the grand tradition of Rachel Carson. It is the Silent Spring of this generation. If you are a parent of a child with autism do not purchase another book by a neurologist or a geneticist. The Thinking Moms’ Revolution gives you all the science, practical advice and hope that you need. I loved this book.”
~ Katie Wright, mother to Christian who is diagnosed with autism. She is a Board Member of Generation Rescue and National Autism Association, Contributing Editor of Age of Autism.
The Thinking Moms’ Revolution – Autism Beyond The Spectrum: Inspiring True Stories From Parents Fighting To Rescue Their Children
Twenty-three moms and one brave dad make up The Thinking Moms’ Revolution. Their group stretches from Montana to Malaysia to Montreal. While parenting children with disabilities, they came together on Facebook to collaborate about bio-medical and dietary interventions, as well as doctors and researchers developing cutting edge treatments. In the process they became a tight-knit family dedicated to helping their children lose their diagnoses. Out of this collaboration they have created something far more substantial. Suspecting that the roots of their children’s autism, adhd, asthma, sensory processing disorder and food allergies may be found in the overuse of antibiotics, preventative medical care, environmental toxins and processed food, they began a mission to turn it around!
Here, Helen Conroy and Lisa Joyce Goes have collected TMR’s stories of healing and hope as they fight to recover their children from autism and related disorders. Each chapter is written by a different TMR member sharing how they found each other, what they have learned along their journey, and why the support of close friends, also parenting kids with special needs, is so important. In this book you will read about their individual experiences, and learn how their determination and friendships have become a daily motivation for parents worldwide.
