Summary
Follow the stories of eight children in their struggle to recover from autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Parents of children once considered hopeless describe the amazing journeys they've taken to bring their sons and daughters back, as they fight the prevailing view of autism as a disorder that is 'incurable and untreatable.' Children who could not speak or make eye contact, who spinned, flapped and looked utterly lost and unreachable, are now cogent, happy, and talkative
