Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians by Bryan Jepson
Product ID: SEPU-9781591810612
By Bryan Jepson, M.D.
with Jane Johnson
Foreword by Katie Wright,
daughter of
the founders of Autism Speaks
Many autism books describe
educational and behavioral
therapies,
but autism is a medical
disease, not a
psychological disorder.
CHANGING
THE COURSE OF AUTISM shows
that
this disease can be treated
by
reducing
the neurological inflammation
that is
part of the disease process,
rather
than simply masking the
symptoms
with drugs like Risperdal and
Prozac.
The authors have seen
autistic
behaviors improve
dramatically or
disappear completely with
appropriate
medical treatment.
The book reviews the history
of autism
through its evolution from a
purely
psychiatric disease model to
the
current cutting edge
biomedical
understandings and treatment
approaches. The text acts as
a
roadmap for healthcare
professionals
and parents attempting to
understand
the gastrointestinal,
immunological,
and neurological issues that
are
clouded by an underlying
corruption of
detoxification systems in
these
children.
Dr. Jepson graduated from
the
University of Utah Medical
School in
1995 and completed residency
training in Grand Rapids,
Michigan in
1998. He is board certified
in
emergency medicine, and is
now
the
Director of Medical Services
at
Thoughtful House Center for
Children,
a multidisciplinary clinic in
Austin, TX,
dedicated to caring for
children with
autism and related
conditions.
Reviews:
"This book will be the new
PDR of
autism for parents and
physicians.
Incredibly well referenced
and
easy to
understand, it challenges
long-held
beliefs about this disorder
and
introduces us to the new
medical
model of autism. An important
book
that every professional and
family
member who deals with autism
must
own."
-- Lee Grossman,
President
and CEO, Autism Society of
America
Dr. Bryan Jepson demystifies
the
disorder by providing the
most
up to
date information on
symptoms,
detection, diagnosis,
treatment, and
the impact of the disorder on
families
of individuals with autism.
Based on
Dr. Jepson's extensive
research and
clinical observations, this
book
answers the myriad of
questions about
autism with authority and
compassion.
