The Other Side of Autism is an incredible true story written by a mother of a child with regressive autism. Working with a psychic medium and his wife, a spirit artist, an open invitation was extended to the spirit world to help solve the autism puzzle. The answers came from a virtual who's who of dead people, including famous scientists, politicians, and many surprise guests who are all still trying to help humanity from The Other Side. Many of the channeled messages affirm some already suspected pieces of the autism puzzle; others reveal hereto undiscovered, and very troubling, missing pieces. This book will show that regressive autism is a disease, not a developmental disorder, making it both curable and preventable. This groundbreaking book shifts the current autism paradigm and offers new ways to heal these precious children. This is a wake-up call that goes far beyond autism, helping answer questions that continue to baffle parents, professionals, and the scientific and medical communities. It's time to know the whole truth.
