Outsmarting Autism – by Patricia S. Lemer

Overview - This book gives parents a full picture of what might help their child with autism beyond just therapy or medicines. The author explains that autism is not only about behaviour — it is also connected to diet, sleep, digestion, senses, and emotions.

Who Should Read It:

  • Parents of children recently diagnosed with autism

  • Anyone who wants to understand more than just therapy

  • Families who are open to natural and home-based solutions

What’s Good About the Book:

  • It gives a clear step-by-step plan that parents can follow.

  • Talks about simple changes at home — like clean eating, good sleep, and reducing chemicals.

  • Encourages parents to take charge and understand why their child may behave a certain way.

  • Also reminds parents to take care of themselves.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Some suggested remedies may not work for everyone and should be discussed with your doctor.

  • Some therapies mentioned may not be easily available in India, but you can look for similar local options
