THE AUTISM BOOK

By Robert W. Sears, M.D., FAAP

With clarity and compassion, Dr. Robert Sears guides the reader through the maze of autism, explaining what precautions parents can take to decrease their baby's risk, how to detect autism at the earliest possible age, and how to proceed once a diagnosis has been made. The book provides parents with a simple and clear understanding of the biomedical treatment approach that Dr. Sears has used successfully with many of his young patients. It lays out a plan for developmental, behavioral, and learning therapies; shows parents how to begin treatments without a doctor's help; presents information on vaccines and their safe use; and includes an extensive resources section.

Autism and Health Care Reform: Pre-Existing Condition No More?

Does anyone have any idea how the new Health Care laws will impact autism?

Autism Parents ... SLEEP!!!!!

I am posting this recommendation for parents who have problems sleeping (NOT YOUR CHILD). We all know that autism also brings sleep deprivation into our homes and this makes everything else we do more difficult. This won't help with being up with your child at all hours, but it will help if, like me, you can't sleep from worrying. In any case, I've been taking POWER TO SLEEP for about a month and it is INCREDIBLE. I really didn't think an herbal supplement could help with sleeping to this effect. This beats even pharmaceuticals. Here are the ingredients. From what I've read, the Valerian Root Extract is probably the most potent ingredient, but whatever the case, IT WORKS!

• Calcium Citrate 50 mg


• Valerian Extract 200 mg


• Ashwagandha extract 150 mg


• Hops extract 150 mg


• Passionflower extract 150 mg


• Lemon Balm extract 150 mg


• GABA 100 mg


• L-Theanine 50 mcg


• Melatonin 2 mg


• Bioperine Complex ( Ginger root extract, Piper longum extract, Bioperine Black Pepper extract (fruit)) 6 mg
