The Un-Prescription for Autism thumbnail

The Un-Prescription for Autism - 208336
Out: Due Back 03/15/2020 Disability Resource Library South Charleston, WV

Each year, more than 50,000 U.S. families receive an autism diagnosis. On top of turmoil and worry, they share the same urgent question: What can we do to help our child?
The answers parents find can be contradictory...even dangerous. The conventional approach (employed by too many pediatricians) is to medicate difficult behaviors into submission—suppressing symptoms while leaving underlying health challenges untouched. Surfing the Internet for alternatives just leads to confusion.
Now, Dr. Janet Lintala, founder of the Autism Health center and an autism mom herself, shares the natural protocols used in her practice to dramatically improve the function and well-being of children on the spectrum.

Autism - Warming to its cold embrace thumbnail

Autism - Warming to its cold embrace - 207070
Available for Loan Disability Resource Library North Morgantown, WV

Warming to the cold embrace of an autism diagnosis is often very challenging for families.
As one parent points out in this informative half-hour program: “When we got the diagnosis, autism was like this 900-pound word that sat on my chest and sucked the air out.”
Award-winning independent filmmaker Robert Parish knows that sinking feeling. When his son Jack was diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in 1996, Parish sank into a deep emotional hole. He dug his way out by pointing the lens of his video camera in Jack’s suddenly disorganized direction. The footage Parish collected ultimately became the critically acclaimed film COME BACK JACK – the first nationally broadcast documentary that shattered many of the myths associated with an autism diagnosis.
