About this ebook

The New York Times bestseller that is an inspiring "story of hope" (People) for parents of autistic children

One morning Jenny McCarthy was having a cup of coffee when she sensed something was wrong. She ran into her two-year-old son Evan's room and found him having a seizure. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until, after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes, one good doctor discovered that Evan is autistic.

With a foreword from Dr. David Feinberg, medical director of the Resnick Neuro-psychiatric Hospital at UCLA, and an introduction by Jerry J. Kartzinel, a top pediatric autism specialist, Louder Than Words follows Jenny as she discovered an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism. Her story sheds much-needed light on autism through her own heartbreak, struggle, and ultimately hopeful example of how a parent can shape a child's life and happiness.

Ratings and reviews

Such an interesting book. It showed Jenny's dedication to help her autistic son, Evan. I admire her determination. HOWEVER, I could never recommend this book to one of my friends. I am a Christian, and the content of bad language in this book is unbelievable. I was so disappointed.

I am not only s reader but a proof this is all true. Every mom should at least try this regardless of our children being healthy, autistic or ADD/ADHA and give it a go. The worst thing you can do is not do anything

I FINALLY found out what caused my child's developmental delays & my other child's a.d.d, allergies & gut problems. Since changing our diet & not vaccinating, my children(I have 6) our family has never bern healthy & my kids are RARELY ever sick. THANK YOU JENNY! YOU CHANGED OUR LIVES!!!
