As the mother of a child with autism as well as a pediatrician, Buckley is especially qualified to speak to the efficacy of medical treatments for autism. Here, she explains different options and how they work for the parents of children with autism-spectrum disorders (ASD). The book is set up in six chapters, each representing a visit to the child's doctor as a way to walk readers through beginning treatment and managing ongoing treatments. Buckley also includes anecdotes of her own patients and their health when they came to her, and she updates their progress throughout. Also included are "Action Lists," resources, and references for further information.
