About this listen

What have scientists learned about the causes of autism spectrum disorder? Why do different kids have such different symptoms, and what are the best ways to deal with them? Will there ever be a cure?

From leading autism researchers, this accessible guide helps you put the latest advances to work for your unique child. Separating fact from fiction about causes, treatments, and prevention, the book guides you to make lifestyle choices that support the developing brain.

From the impact of sleep, exercise, diet, and technology, to which type of professional help might be the right fit, the authors cover it all with expertise and compassion. Learn about the choices you face - and the steps you can take - to build a happier, healthier life for your child and family.

This is well read and the science seemed good,

However: towards the end of the book they go on about breastfeeding and not being obese etc as helping NOT to have an autistic child. I’m slim, was vegetarian, healthy, fit and I breastfed all 3 of mine until 6 months and they’re all autistic!! Guess what: so am I!’

Trying to assign easy options to blame parents isn’t helpful!!

However, the rest of the book was interesting, helpful and worth reading/listening to.

Excellent with caveats

Constantly referred to autistic people as 'he', and talked about 'treatment' plans, neurodiversity is not a disease it's a natural variation. Awful.

Lack of understanding.
