Pamela Compart, Dana Laake

Fair Winds Press, 2006

Great for All Ages and Diets
As a culinary educator I recommend this book highly to parents who not only have children with ADHD but also for those with food allergies. I use it as a resource since it addresses all the ingredients which are usually problems for children - soy, dairy, wheat, etc. and gives great alternatives and easy recipes to satisfy all palates. Those with allergies and intolerances will surely benefit ... 		  
  







  
  
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations89 reviews
Stephanie Cave

Grand Central Publishing, 2001

A must-have for every parent
This book is fantastic! It is sure to provide with the information you need about all the common vaccines routinely injected in American children today. I also really appreciated the "safer vaccine schedule" Dr. Cave provides in the book. Dr. Cave is not against vaccines, but she makes her point clear that there are major problems with many of the ingredients in today's vaccines.

Carol Stock Kranowitz

Perigee Trade, 2006

Very Helpful

Elaine Gloria Gottschall

Kirkton Press, 1994

A new lease on my life!
I've known for years that I was gluten-intolerant and strictly avoided it. A friend of mine who is also gluten-intolerant with other problems (rice and corn etc) recommended this book to me and while I didn't seem to have any problems with other foods, I have been struggling with feeling tired all the time and sick and achey. Well, I have been on it now for almost a month and I am practically a ...

Rules (Newbery Honor Book)69 reviews
Cynthia Lord

Scholastic Press, 2006

Rules
We all do it, out of human nature. We see people we feel to be less fortunate than us and we can't help but look their way. A glance filled with pity and guilt. Whether it be physical limitations from something like cerebral-palsy or "odd" behavior stemmed from something like autism. However, inside these individuals lies someone as interesting, as creative, and as normal as you and me. Often ...

The Big Picture
Everything always makes sense when you can see the big picture. This book provides a glimpse into why events we perceive as "bad" happen, through a varied collection of individual cases.

Kenneth Bock, Cameron Stauth

Ballantine Books, 2008

Quite Intriguing!
Dr. Bock presents a very interesting theory regarding why we see so much autism, ADHD, and allergies these days. The information presented is vastly different than that presented in my training and my interest in this area has been perked. I plan to set forth to master this knowledge base and see what I think as time passes. In the meantime, I will recommend this book to all my parents. ...

Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant127 reviews
Daniel Tammet

Free Press, 2007

Either totally engrossing or terribly tedious...
Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet is an autobiography that you will either find totally engrossing or terribly tedious. Fortunately, I was one who was enthralled by Tammet and his incredible story. Tammet is unusual in many ways. First, he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome (a high level form of Autism), but not until he was 24 years old. He describes in great detail his childhood ...

John Elder Robison

Crown, 2007

BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!
This book, above all the others I have read on the subject of Asperger's, is a must have. I gained more insight into how my oldest son might think by reading this book than any book written by people with a lot of initials after their name. Believe me, if you have a child or other relative who has been diagnosed with AS, then you owe it to them to read this book. In all honesty, I do hope ...
