Autism Beyond The Spectrum: Inspiring True Stories From Parents Fighting To Rescue Their Children
Twenty-three moms and one brave dad make up The Thinking Moms Revolution. Their group stretches from Montana to Malaysia to Montreal. While parenting children with disabilities, they came together on Facebook to collaborate about bio-medical and dietary interventions, as well as doctors and researchers developing cutting edge treatments. In the process they became a tight-knit family dedicated to helping their children lose their diagnoses. Out of this collaboration they have created something far more substantial. Suspecting that the roots of their childrens autism, adhd, asthma, sensory processing disorder and food allergies may be found in the overuse of antibiotics, preventative medical care, environmental toxins and processed food, they began a mission to turn it around!
Here, Helen Conroy and Lisa Joyce Goes have collected TMRs stories of healing and hope as they fight to recover their children from autism and related disorders. Each chapter is written by a different TMR member sharing how they found each other, what they have learned along their journey, and why the support of close friends, also parenting kids with special needs, is so important. In this book you will read about their individual experiences, and learn how their determination and friendships have become a daily motivation for parents worldwide.

Q&A 4: WHEN DID YOU START TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR CHILD? 3:06
■ALISON MACNEIL CAMBRIDGE, MA 0:06 I first started to worry about my son about 16 months. He stopped playing with his toys, he stopped making eye contact, didnt notice if you walked into a room, and had liquid rancid diarrhea all day long.
■SUGAH HOUSTON, TX 0:38 It was between 12 months to 24 months
■0:49 He was not talking like he should be talking, he would just parrot back whatever I had to say.
■CATHY BRENNAN REILLY ROCKPORT MA 1:31 At around 18 months he got a cold, a regular cold which turned into pneumonia which turned into ear infections which turned into pneumonia again. During that time he had a fever related seizure, 6 to 8 weeks after the illness he recovered and um, he had lost all his language, he couldnt speak any more.
