Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians by Bryan Jepson

Product ID: BO-SEPU-9781591810612

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.
