Description
Book SynopsisThis book presents the clinical experiences of homeopaths working with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) around the world, exploring the outcomes that are being achieved in practice. Anecdotally, homeopathy has been found to be helpful for managing aggression, improving physical health problems and enhancing overall wellbeing in some children and adults with autism. This will be compelling reading for homeopaths, other healthcare professionals, teachers, parents and all those who come in to contact with children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Trade ReviewAndrews' book is an excellent introduction to homeopathy for parents of ASD children. It begins with a thorough, but not too lengthy, summary of the main features of ASD, including theories of causation. Andrews takes a balanced look at the latter, and does not lay too much emphasis on any one causative factor, such as vaccination or genetics. -- Philip Bailey * The Australian Journal of Homeopathic Medicine, Volume 27, No. 2 *
