NEW BOOK! (publication date May 15, 2003)
  TREATING AUTISM
   PARENT STORIES OF HOPE AND SUCCESS
Edited by Stephen M. Edelson, Ph.D.
and
Bernard Rimland, Ph.D.

From the Introduction:

The aim of this book is to provide in-depth stories written by parents and doctors who have used the rational, non-drug Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) biomedical treatments recommended by ARI to improve the lives of autistic children. We hope these stories will give parents hope and direction, and provide physicians and other health-care practitioners with real-life evidence that the era of simply drugging and institutionalizing autistic children has given way to an era of effectively treating them, often bringing about major improvement, and sometimes recovery.

This book is divided into four parts:
Part I contains chapters written by Drs. Bernard Rimland, John Green, and Stephen M. Edelson. Dr. Rimland describes his introduction to autism when he and his wife discovered, in 1958, that their two-year-old son, Mark, was autistic. Dr. Rimland then shares with the reader valuable insights based on his nearly 50 years of experience with autism. Dr. Green describes his perspective as a physician who has successfully treated autistic individuals and provides the reader with an excellent introduction to the Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) approach. Dr. Edelson discusses what he would do if he were a parent, and suggests ways in which parents may determine if a treatment truly helped their child.
Part II consists of 34 parent-written accounts of how autistic individuals have benefited from the DAN! approach. These are only a small sampling of those who have improved, and even recovered, as a result of effective biomedical approaches to autism. We hope that as you read the true stories in this book, you will gain both inspiration and practical guidance from the parents and professionals who are revolutionizing the treatment of autistic children and eliminating the word “hopeless” from the vocabulary of autism.

Part III contains 58 “Letters to the Editor,” from the Autism Research Review International (ARRI), which were written by parents (and some professionals) to report their experience with vitamin B6 with magnesium and dimethylglycine (DMG). ARI has received many hundreds of such letters from parents describing remarkable improvement in their children as a result of using these supplements.

Part IV consists of five Appendices providing useful tools and resources.
