J.B. Handley's memoir 'Underestimated' tells how his non-speaking autistic son Jamie began communicating on a letterboard, upending what they thought they knew.
I can only imagine the thrill Jamie and his parents experienced when the letterboard came to life and Jamie could communicate! So wonderful!
Jamie's experience seems very similar to that of Ido, who wrote "Ido in Autismland." I suspect your readers will want to read both books. I'm definitely going to read Underestimated No More. Thanks for the review!
Dalton Trumbo "Johnny Got His Gun" is the account of a soldier quadrapeligic who was trapped in a torso but has full mental capacity... Very similar, long before letterboards...
A fantastic account of what is possible by asking the right questions. Stellar reason to never
"give up". The account was earning interest all the while.
Does not touch the causation issue, emphasis on solutions.
No question whatsover, the most likely causation for most autism is the vaccines... Really would like to know details. Regarding the interventions employed:
The reason that hyperbaric is useful is simple-
O2 under pressure perfuses tissue with oxygen.
The reason "gluten free" is useful is the avoidance of glyphosate (Round-Up)
The reason B12 (methylated) is useful has to do with CH3 groups. Many chemistry details...
I think all of these things can, CAN, truly help many autistic kids. I’m so exited that more and more people are open to all of these things, and heavy metal detoxes and other helpful treatments.
I look forward to a day when kids are no longer vaccinated at all, but in the meantime, I’m grateful for everyone in pursuit of help.

Thank YOU, Nancy.

I remember the movie. It was so painful to watch that even now, decades later, I can't bear to think of it. And I agree with your assessment.
