The Myth of Autism

How a Misunderstood Epidemic Is Destroying Our Children

By: Dr. Michael Goldberg, Elyse Goldberg

Narrated by: Clinton Wade

Everyone seems to agree that we have an epidemic of what is diagnosed as autism. But, in the history of our society, there has never been "an epidemic" of any developmental or genetic disorder. Yet, over the span of 30 years, autism has gone from affecting one in 5,000 children to one in 90, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So what is this "autism", which has come to affect the lives of so many? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Goldberg and his colleagues illustrate why autism must be a symptom of a treatable, neurological disease that attacks the brain’s immune system.

Through Goldberg’s personal anecdotes, case studies, and original research, you will come to understand that autism is:

• Not psychological or developmental—it is a medical disease.
• Caused by a dysfunction in the neuro–immune system. Similar to ADD/ADHD and chronic fatigue in that they all have different "labels" but are variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction.

In order to save children from the disease and social stigma of autism, Dr. Goldberg unpacks the myth behind the illness and provides a wealth of diagnostic and treatment information that will transform your own life and the lives of those around you.

Wichtiges Buch zum Autismus

Ich habe schon sehr viele Bücher über Autismus gelesen, aber keines konnte wirklich den Autismus erklären. Dieses Buch ist zumindest für mich das erste wirklich interessante und wichtige Buch. Die Erklärungen sind plausibel und gut verständlich, hoffentlich werden mehr Forscher und Ärzte sich endlich Dem Thema annehmen und wir Dr. Goldberg wirklich etwas tun statt leere Phrasen von sich zu geben. Ich kann das Buch wärmstens empfehlen

A great way to help people on the spectrum and with ADD.

It has evidence based solutions for Autism. Wish I had this information years ago. As someone on the spectrum I’ve tried many different things, some success and some not, but now I can see why and what to do about it.

Read the f@#$!&% book.

If your looking for a book about autism this is it. We have been struggling to make sense of our new reality and after a few minutes of this book things started to click. By the end of the book it all came together. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and finish the book. Don't just accept your new life with autism.

information unable to discard!

my son at the age of two was diagnosed with autism now that he's three he has made some improvements with the OT and ABA that we've already had him doing but now thanks to Dr Goldberg I have another avenue to pursue that I'm comfortable with!

Dr. Goldberg is amazing

Talk about a man who cares about children! After reading this book I hunted down Dr. Goldberg in California! He is now treating my Son Robert. Recommend 100%.
