Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds

When Jenny McCarthy's son, Evan, was diagnosed with autism, she refused to give in without a fight. With determination and resolve, she set out on an arduous journey to help save her son, and ultimately healed him through an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, supplements, and other biomedical interventions.

Jenny is not alone. With patience and courage and unparalleled strength, thousands of families have made incredible strides in the fight against autism. Mother Warriors shares their heartfelt and deeply personal stories of navigating through the many autism therapies to heal their children, as well as Jenny's own journey as an autism advocate and mother.

Among the brave parents featured inside Mother Warriors, readers will meet: the daughter of the founder of Autism Speaks, who changed her son's diet and drastically improved his autism despite resistance from the organization, which, until recently, rejected research into biomedical treatments; a mother who successfully healed her son while also battling breast cancer; a father whose son was officially undiagnosed after undergoing treatment for a laundry list of debilitating autism symptoms and regressions; and a sixty-year-old woman who fought to save her son (now thirty) in the 1980s and paved the way for the parents of today, against all odds.
