Abstract:

When Jenny McCarthy published her story of her successful efforts to save her son from autism, though the reaction was tremendous, she hadn't anticipated the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children who wanted to share their own stories. Here Jenny expands her message to share these stories, showing how each parent fought to find her own child's perfect "remedy of interventions." Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother, as well as the continuing progress of her son, Evan. 2008.
