The alarming spike in autism in recent years has sent doctors and parents on a search for answers. Many controversies have erupted around the issue and many key concerns remain unexplored.
The Autism Puzzle is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be influencing the brain development of children.
Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism. The Autism Puzzle puts a human face on the families caught between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.
