What is autism: a lifelong disability or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is both of these things and more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.

Story
For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

McCarthy Is Pro Vaccine Safety
Any additional comments?
It breaks my heart that Jenny McCarthy has been vilified, gaslighted and made a scapegoat for telling her personal story, about her experience with her son's having an adverse reaction to vaccines. She is NOT anti-vaccine, just pro safe vaccine. The media has falsely labeled those actively seeking safe, better researched vaccines as being 'anti-vaccine'. In addition, McCarthy tells of how, with her doctors' help, she fixed her son's gastrointestinal problems, which dramatically improved or cured his autism symptoms. She cut out gluten and casein in his diet, etc.I don't think my review can do her book justice. It's better to just read the book and get McCarthy's side of the story.Also, youtube has interviews with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, which are very informative and give his side of the story. There's also the movie, 'Vaxxed', And, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., Sr. Research Scientist at MIT videos on youtube are also very informative, etc.

Should be mandatory reading for every parent
This book tells it like it is and every parent owes it to their children to read it and if you choose not to and your child or your next-door neighbors child or your grand child is harmed I don’t know how you look yourself in the mirror when you wouldn’t even open the pages when the truth was staring you in the face

Some interesting profiles after Jenny's story
What did you like best about Mother Warriors? What did you like least?
I am an autism mom and I happen to like Jenny McCarthy. I think the work she has done to raise awareness of biomedical interventions for autism is huge. I think this even though biomedical has done little for my son, but I do know others who have been helped by it. I knew Mother Warriors profiled various moms of recovered kids. I did not realize that was the second half of the book and that in the first half Jenny continues with her own story, going through her media tours for her books and the reactions she got from various people in the media. It was interesting but I was impatient to read about the moms.
There were some interesting profiles. There was one from a mom whose son is 30 now and it was very interesting to read about what they tried back then - very interesting to know that one thing that was suggested to her even back then was the GFCF diet. That was such a wild story she should write her own book. I was also particularly interested in reading about the mom of Elias Tembenis, and I should have figured that would be the last profile in the book. Elias, unlike the other profiled kids did not recover, though perhaps he was recovering when he died at the age of 7. Elias was vaccine injured by his 4 month well check shots, developing a seizure disorder. At 7 he had a sore throat and his mom took him to the hospital and he had a seizure and ended up dying. It was very sad and powerful stuff. Some of the profiles got a bit repetitive but I guess that only served to make Jenny's point about a certain consistency of experiences which doctors should not be disregarding. She profiled Katie Wright of course, daughter of the Autism Speaks founders also. Anyway, some people, particularly autism parents do not like reading recovery stories. There is something self-congratulatory and superior in some of it. In this case taken as a whole I found them interesting since even in recovery not everything is all rosey.
