Book ID/图书代码： 02173015B78755

English Summary/英文概要： “An in-depth, scientific—yet hopeful and positive—look at how the brain and body work together . . . [Dr. Martha Herbert] has developed a new way of seeing autism.”—Library Journal

After years of treating patients and analyzing scientific data, Harvard Medical School researcher and clinician Dr. Martha Herbert offers a revolutionary new view of autism and a transformative strategy for dealing with it. Autism, she concludes, is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a child’s genes and destined to remain fixed forever. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor. And while other doctors may dismiss your child’s physical symptoms—the anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, frequent illnesses or seizures—as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are, and how to help. Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, limit stress, and open the door to learning and creativity. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits—for your child with autism, and for you, your whole family, and perhaps your next baby as well.

“Invaluable . . . a must-read . . . Dr. Martha Herbert gets it. She not only gets it, but she puts it out there in an awesome book so the rest of us can get it, too.”—Autism Watch

“[Herbert] goes further than most autism specialists. Her impressive science background merges with common sense and even intuitive sense [making] complex scientific and medical materials seamlessly blend with a holistic viewpoint.”—Relieve Autism

“Hope and practical guidance . . . With this easy-to-read book, parents can gain wisdom on how to guide your child to achieve a healthy and thriving life.”—Mom Central

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Caleb符合这种模式，我将会告诉您的关于许多其他孩子的故事也符合。 作为母亲的第一个孩子，Caleb出生时就被困住了。Joy的生产陷入停滞整整两个小时，最终Caleb的头被挤压得变形了。Caleb很快就恢复了（尽管有好多年他的头有部分一直是平的），他看起来似乎是一个完全正常的孩子，但却经常生病。到2岁时，Caleb已经经历了13次耳朵感染，用于治疗的抗生素一次比一次强。他的母亲注意到他的头异常的大，到3岁时就已经戴上成人尺寸的帽子，但是儿科医生告诉Joy不要担心，Caleb完全健康。 当Caleb 16个月大时，他不再开口说话。他开始变得恐惧焦虑。甚至不管什么时候什么人看起来想要接近他时，他会煽动手臂。Joy又带他去看儿科医生，但是医生并不担心。医生说孩子是正常的，唯一的问题是Joy太焦虑。 20个月大的时候Joy又带他去看医生，23个月的时候又看了一次。这次她告诉医生拿不到专家那儿看病的转诊单她是不会走的。（wanda)

Awards/获奖情况：This was the sensible book that I have been looking for for years. My daughter has Asperger’s Syndrome, Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome and Generalised Anxiety Disorder. It covers lots of the burning issues in autism research in a sensible and factual way without the very biased opinions that can be so common. It is easy to read and approaches autism as a whole body issue rather than a purely hard wired neurological condition something that I have always suspected but when you see so many professionals for so many different issues you never get anyone to look at the whole child - just their speciality. I will definitely be looking at many of the issues in this book and implementing many of the recommendations slowly and methodically as the author recommends. I really recommend this book and will be asking my local autism support group to purchase a copy asap.
