In 2006, autism became the leading disorder affecting children in theUnited States.

As word spreads about these incredible discoveries-helped in part by Jenny McCarthy's book Louder Than Words-parentsare desperate to learn about the biomedical therapies for themselves.
Since early intervention is key to a successful recovery, McCarthyhas teamed up with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, the doctor who successfullytreated her son, to write the first book to give parents all the necessaryinformation about biomedical treatment.
