Told with the intensity of a medical thriller, the extraordinary story of how Clay Whiffen and his family conquered autism.

When Clay Whiffen was diagnosed on the autism spectrum, his parents didn’t know where to turn. They refused to believe that he could not be cured, and began to try every therapy they could afford -- and many they couldn’t. Frantically they worked, knowing that Clay slipped further away every day. When intensive medical testing revealed that Clay no longer fit the criteria for any condition on the autism spectrum, the Whiffens’ wildest dreams were realized.

After attending many meetings with parents of children on the spectrum, I hear the same story time and time again. It goes something like this:

While I'm at my parent's house this weekend, I am cleaning out some files that I brought along.... including birthday party ideas, natural cleaning product recipes, Christmas, "dream house" (we won't be using that file anytime soon!) and the largest file of all- Autism. I have every single piece of paper from every single developmental pediatrician appointment, ARD meeting, therapist evaluation & notes, school notes that Sam has ever received... plus I have bulging files on contact information, biomedical interventions, therapies to try, education, stories of hope, etc...
