AlbakiReads Editorial

A parent-focused guide to autism research, early signs, and intervention planning

Robert Melillo frames autism spectrum disorders through questions of causation, prevention, detection, and family action. The book presents his account of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, alongside material intended to counter myths with the research he cites. Its practical sections cover early warning signs, a plan aimed at prospective parents, and intervention approaches for babies and young children. The emphasis is on drug-free strategies and on steps parents can consider while navigating concerns about neurological development. Given the book’s broad claims about prevention and treatment, its guidance is best understood as Melillo’s presented approach rather than as a substitute for individualized clinical advice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking an overview of autism-related early signs and intervention topics
  • Prospective parents interested in the book’s prevention-focused framework
  • Adults exploring drug-free approaches discussed in autism literature

Book overview

From the bestselling author of Disconnected Kids, a clear and compassionate explanation of the causes of the autism epidemic--and a scientifically based approach for prevention and treatment.

As he travels the country helping parents and children cope with neurological disorders, Dr. Robert Melillo is always asked one question: Why? Why are autism rates exploding? But an equally important question always follows: What can we do about it as a society--and what can I do to help my child?

In this candid, research-based, practical book, Dr. Melillo presents the latest scientific explanation for how we got here and proven, drug-free strategies that parents can employ to help prevent, detect, and address the autism epidemic for themselves and their families.

With honesty and compassion, Dr. Melillo explains what the latest scientific research tells us about the role of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, dispelling myths and replacing them with the facts. In addition, he presents early warning signs, a prevention plan for parents-to-be, and an intervention program for babies and young children.
