An Easy Way To Understand Autism In Children - Paperback

Autism seems to be on the increase in children in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) one in 88 children is being diagnosed with an autism related condition, compared to one in 150 just a decade ago. There is still no definite answer as to what causes autism-although there are several theories. This book is written in an easy to understand style and covers such subjects as the history of autism, how is a diagnosis made, what are the risk factors, a list of currently prescribed medications as well as a section on alternative therapies, dietary guidelines and a nutrition supplement list. There is a discussion on education possibilities for autistic children, as well as the benefits of support groups. This book is intended for anyone who has a child with an autistic condition, as well as anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of autism. Brian B Jacques has been a natural health researcher for over forty years. "An Easy Way To Understand Autism in Children" is the latest addition to his very popular Mini Health Series.
