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. Clay had become a typical child. Written by Clay’s mother, A Child’s Journey Out of Autism spells out what treatments worked, where the family found help, and how they made it through this crushing crisis. In a time of despair and confusion—when a child is diagnosed with autism every twenty minutes—the extraordinary story of Clay Whiffen and his family’s victory over autism is a profound, proven message of hope for anyone whose life is touched by this disorder. Foreword written by Bryan Jepson, M.D. (leading autism specialist), Medical Director, Thoughtful House Center for Children.
