Dal risvolto di copertina interno

On the morning Jenny McCarthy discovered her two-year-old son Evan having a seizure, her life turned upside-down. As doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan s symptoms and the boy suffered many life-threatening episodes, Jenny began a turbulent medical odyssey to find the right treatment for her son. Then, almost by chance, one amazing doctor recognized the truth. Evan is autistic. Although relieved because she finally had a diagnosis and the pieces of the jigsaw were beginning to fall into place, Jenny didn t know where to turn for advice and support. All she had was her unconditional love for Evan and a fierce determination to help and protect him. She also realized she would need to turn detective to find the guidance she so desperately needed. Deeply moving, brutally honest and at times heartbreaking, Louder Than Words tells of the remarkable journey Jenny McCarthy took with her son, and of the frustrations and joys of raising an autistic child.
