Bravo to Jenny McCarthy who has written a memoir, “Louder Than Words” – A Mother’s Journey about Healing Autism – the story of her journey with her son, Evan, who was diagnosed with autism. I’ve recently seen her on Oprah, The View, Live with Regis and Kelly, and CNN’s Larry King. She is raising a tremendous amount of awareness about autism and at the same time giving parents greater hope than most ever thought was possible.
The statistics now reflect that 1 in 150 children (still many more boys than girls) will be diagnosed with autism. It is an epidemic. The cause is much argued about. The reality as to whether or not it can be cured is equally as contentious.
