Autism 2 Awesome: Allow Your Greatest Crisis to Become Your Greatest Miracle
In 2003, Kerry L. Brooks's son was diagnosed with autism, devastating his family. Their physician offered only two recommendations: prepare their son for a group home, and focus on having other children. Kerry was no medical expert, but he was a determined father and his son's biggest advocate. Refusing to follow the doctor's orders, he and his wife continued to search-not for a cure, but for strategies that would help their son reach his highest potential. In Autism 2 Awesome, Kerry shares these strategies and his family's journey from devastating diagnosis to high school honors graduation. No matter the challenge, every parent can benefit from looking within, trusting their instincts, and most importantly, celebrating every miracle.

Autism: The Buddhi Book
"As technology advances, our focus in modern medicine has slowly and surely shifted to its use, not just in diagnostics, but also in treatment. However, there is a vast body of untapped knowledge in ancient medical traditions, which can be harnessed for both care and cure; knowledge that largely is ignored in our technological pursuit. Buddhi is our integrative care program for the brain and mind, one that addresses the lifespan. Children with various neurodevelopmental conditions, adults with a plethora of brain injuries & compromise, elders with disorders of brain degeneration, Buddhi addresses them all. In doing so it leverages on the cutting edge of modern medical treatment, both diagnostic and therapeutic; yet draws upon rich traditions of healing in Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Yoga, Physical Therapy & Psychological Therapy. Buddhi is thus an integration, an amalgam of the finest that can help in the healing process

Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and Communication, and by restricted and repetitive behaviour. The signs begin before a child is three years old. Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organizer, but how it occurs is not well understood. Autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism is too complex to draw specific conclusions. In some cases, autism is associated with agents that cause birth defects. Controversies surround over the environmental causes like heavy metals, pesticides, childhood vaccines, etc. Though there is no convincing scientific evidence. According to br. Howlin et al. , not many children with autism live independently though some become successful.

Moving beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate, The Autism Puzzle is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be impacting the brain development of children.
