Editorial reviews
Students of popular science and parents of autistic children will want to hear The Myth of Autism: How a Misunderstood Epidemic is Destroying Our Children, by Dr. Michael Goldberg (with Elyse Goldberg). Dr. Goldberg, a practicing doctor with decades of experience, challenges many of the most commonly held assumptions about this increasingly visible condition. Among Dr. Goldberg's theses is the idea that autism, correctly understood, is not a condition at all but a disease that can be treated with diet and medication. Narrator Clinton Wade gives a clear and measured reading of the research and experience Dr. Goldberg relies upon to make this controversial claim. While occasionally daunting to the lay-listener, The Myth of Autism is nevertheless filled with fascinating and unorthodox ideas.
Publisher's Summary
Everyone seems to agree that we have an epidemic of what is diagnosed as autism. But, in the history of our society, there has never been "an epidemic" of any developmental or genetic disorder. Yet, over the span of 30 years, autism has gone from affecting one in 5,000 children to one in 90, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So what is this "autism", which has come to affect the lives of so many? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Goldberg and his colleagues illustrate why autism must be a symptom of a treatable, neurological disease that attacks the brain’s immune system.
Through Goldberg’s personal anecdotes, case studies, and original research, you will come to understand that autism is:
- Not psychological or developmental—it is a medical disease.
- Caused by a dysfunction in the neuro–immune system. Similar to ADD/ADHD and chronic fatigue in that they all have different "labels" but are variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction.
In order to save children from the disease and social stigma of autism, Dr. Goldberg unpacks the myth behind the illness and provides a wealth of diagnostic and treatment information that will transform your own life and the lives of those around you.

Awful
Do not waste your money or credits. If only audible offered refunds as amazon did as this was not only a waste of money but my time too.

Pseudoscientific nonsense
This author is an idiot. Autism isn’t “curable” and it certainly isn’t caused by the immune system. Neurodiversity should be celebrated, not perpetually shunned in the name of eradication. Also, as usual, focuses on the “terrible plight” of parents rather than the ACTUAL kids and adults with autism (who, coincidentally, are perfectly capable of advocating for themselves. Listen to autistic voices.)

Gives hope.
Very interesting. I hope I can find out more about the protocol or find someone in Australia treating ASD ADD diagnosed people this way.
Would be great if there was a book outlining the basics or training for doctors outside USA
