Description
Andrews' book is an excellent introduction to homeopathy for parents of ASD children. It begins with a thorough, but not too lengthy, summary of the main features of ASD, including theories of causation. Andrews takes a balanced look at the latter, and does not lay too much emphasis on any one causative factor, such as vaccination or genetics.
