Product Description:
Stories of hope and recovery from a nation of parents of autistic children, by the high-profile, bestselling author of Louder Than Words.

When Jenny McCarthy published Louder Than Words, the story of her successful efforts to save her son, Evan, from autism, the response was tremendous. It hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list; and Jenny and Evan were featured on the covers of several magazines, including People. But what she hadn’t anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children, who sought her out to share their stories.

No two autistic children heal in exactly the same way. And in her new book, Jenny expands her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country. Mother Warriors, shows how each parent fought to find her own child’s perfect “remedy of interventions” and teaches parents how to navigate safely through the many autism therapies.

Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother as well as the progress of her son, Evan. Emotional and genuinely practical, Mother Warriors will inspire a generation of parents with hope.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mother Warriors
This is a book I could not put down. I am passing it around to therapists, parents, grandparents and teachers of autistic children who are not yet convinced that the diet might be beneficial. It is easier for some of us to read because there are less four letter words. I totally understand that they are a gut response and may be the only means of expressing the feeling at the time. But I believe it packs more punch to use better English and let me read between the lines. I thought Jenny's style ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Very one-sided and not as compassionate as expected
I was let down by this book. For the first half of the book, I enjoyed the stories Jenny shares about herself and other mothers of autistic children. It was informative and touched my heart by the challenges these parents were facing. I never knew about the degree of immune system issues autistic kids tend to battle and hearing some of the methods to treat those issues was great. Jenny refers to it as healing autism, but it isn't healing autism. The methods simply treat those issues and some heal ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My son is now 8, but Jenny Has Inspired Me to do even more for him
I thought after 6 years of gluten-free diet, bio med treatments, I'd done all I could do for my now 8 year old son. He is still autistic, though he is learning to read, advancing academically, etc. But Jenny has inspired me to redo some of his tests and seek diet, medical and supplement changes that may help. Every mother of a child with autism--whatever their age--should read this book.

That is why I was upset by the ill-informed negative (1 star) "customer review" and I think it should be ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing!
I finished this book in about 2 hours. The tears flowed as I read....thank you Jenny for getting their stories to us!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome
Great book for anyone who has a child with autism. I read the whole book in one night. Couldn't put it down! It was so inspiring to hear other peoples stories who are dealing with the same thing I am.
