Louder Than Words (by Jenny McCarthy)

LOUDER THAN WORDS by Jenny McCarthy (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Honest, informative, down-to-earth, and sometimes painful….Mothers everywhere thank her.” (The Chicago Sun-Times)

When Jenny’s two-year-old son was diagnosed with autism, she found herself alone without any resources except for her determination to help her son. After extensive independent research, she at last discovered a way to save her son from autism. Here, she shares her experiences and knowledge with other concerned parents.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Tavia Gilbert. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

One morning, Jenny McCarthy sensed something was wrong and ran into her two-year-old son Evan’s room to discover he was having a seizure. In that moment, Jenny was thrust into the midst of a medical odyssey. After numerous misdiagnoses and many harrowing, life-threatening episodes, Evan was finally diagnosed with autism. Jenny didn’t know what to do next and found herself alone, without any resources except for her determination to help her son. Realizing that she’d have to become a detective, Jenny spoke with many doctors, parents, governmental agencies, and private foundations and became an expert of Google research.

At last, she discovered a combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism. Here, she shares her experiences and knowledge and offers a roadmap for other concerned parents.
