Presents a road map for raising an autistic child. This book shows how with love and determination, parents may be able to shape their child's destiny and their future happiness.

On the morning Jenny McCarthy discovered her two-year-old son Evan having a seizure, her life turned upside down. From being the mother of an average toddler she was suddenly thrown into a world of turmoil. As doctor after doctor misdiagnosed his symptoms, Evan suffered many harrowing, life-threatening episodes. Then, one amazing doctor recognized the truth. Evan was autistic. Desperate, but relieved to finally have a diagnosis, Jenny didn't know what to do or where to go for guidance. Alone, and without any resources - except for her unshakable determination to help her son - Jenny soon realized that she'd have to become a detective if she was ever going to be able to help her son.She embarked on a frantic search for guidance and information, and spoke with many doctors, nurses, parents, government agencies and private foundations. Essentially, she earned a Ph. D. in 'Google research'. Eventually, she discovered the groundbreaking program that became the key to helping Evan. Deeply moving, and at times heartbreaking, in "Louder Than Words" Jenny McCarthy reveals more than the winning formula that worked for her son.
Here she tells of the remarkable, sometimes harrowing, journey of discovery they took together. She shares the frustrations and joys of raising an autistic child and creates a road map for concerned parents. She also shows how, with love and determination, parents may be able to shape their child's destiny and their future happiness.

Jenny McCarthy was born in Chicago. She was a glamour model and MTV presenter before working as a film and tv actress. She has written a number of New York Times bestsellers which focus on her experiences of motherhood. She lives with her son Evan in California.
