Description: Waging War on the Autistic Child by Andrew J. Wakefield Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Families affected by the autism epidemic have suffered great hardship and prejudice, particularly as they have navigated the uncertain waters of diagnosis, treatment, and education. This title tells the shocking story of one Arizona family with five children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Publisher Description As the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders grows each year, new discoveries and controversies arise. Andrew Wakefield explores many of these in his thorough investigation of the recent trial case of the "Arizona 5," which destroyed an Arizona family. Two parents, with five children on the spectrum, were accused of Mnchausen syndrome by proxy-a rare form of child abuse-and were ganged up on by physicians, child protective services, and the courts, who alleged that the parents fabricated medical symptoms in all five children. However, Wakefield now presents ample evidence that was disregarded and which would have proven the parents innocence. Families affected by autism suffer great hardship and prejudice, particularly as they navigate the uncertain waters of diagnosis, treatment, and education. The shocking story of the Arizona 5 family delves into the tremendous challenges some parents have to face, especially if their views on how to treat the syndrome dont align with the medical worlds standards. Wakefield also includes numerous studies and research trials that support the controversial yet significant roles that vaccines and diet play in autism, factors many medical professionals wrongfully dismiss. Author Biography Andrew J. Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Marys Hospital Medical School (part of the University of London) in 1981 and pursued a career in gastrointestinal surgery with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He has published over 130 original scientific articles, book chapters, and scientific commentaries and is also the author of Callous Disregard. In pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, he lost his job at Londons Royal Free Hospital, his country of birth, his career, and his medical license. Wakefield and his wife, Carmel, live in Austin, Texas, with their four children. Details ISBN 1616086149 ISBN-13 9781616086145 Title Waging War on the Autistic Child Author Andrew J.
