Leeann Whiffen - 3 Yr. Old Son FULLY Recovers From Autism

Leeann Whiffen was the average twenty something mother trying to raise a family on a modest budget when her son was diagnosed at 3 years old with Autism. Struggling to find answers for the "incurable" condition, she found a way to help her son to fully recover. Her child, who is now 8 years old, is now fully functional with no Autistic symptoms left. Her story will be published in a memoir coming Spring 2009.

One of the longest and best interviews I've seen in a news show that really dives into the issues of and possible treatments for autism. Cool how much she knows - sounds like an expert, and yet she's just a mom who learned it all through experience for her son. Refreshing to have hope and ideas come from a regular person (you know: non-celebrity, without tons of money). Post if you know when her book is supposed to come out.

Hi Concordplanner, thanks for your comments. From what I know her book is coming out in March, 2009. Will definitely post when I'm sure.

..it will always be denied of course because if they ever came out and admitted the link the lawsuits would be astronomical..So they deny deny deny..Its the vaccines!

Notice the kids always regress at 18 months..exactly the same time as the MMR and DPT vaccines..I warned my ex against vaccinating our then very healthy son as Id heard of the Vaccine-autism link...she went ahead and did it anyway against my wishes and sure enough shortly thereafter he regressed..lost eye contact, lost words he had learned, went into his own world..He has now been officially diagnosed as autistic and when we explained what happened to the so called autism the link was denied..

I totally agree. These stories are awesome, but they don't sound extreme. My son is autistic and if his problems were only that simple.

Great video and book! Regarding comments, its important to realize the difference from classic genetic Autism, and regressive acquired Autism. Classic Autistics do not regress, but exhibit early signs. Therapy is often a good choice, but they do not need the biomedical approach as their version of the A word is genetic and not illness based. This new epidemic of children are injured from toxins and their treatment options are different. Treating their specific ailments as well as therapy.

The below post from people.....some of them really make me sad. There are several levels of Autism. Just like any other immune disorder. When you have a fully functioning child...then BOOM...it ALL stops.....don't you think that's a concern? Our grandson has Austism. We're extremely thankful he's of the High Spectrum of intelligence. Yet...we will not sit by and just watch what happens. That's extreme poor Parenting! Education, Education, Education!!!

My son looked like he had autism but he out grew it, that's why it's hard to get a solid diagnosis, he didn't even talk to where people could understand until kindergarden,would stare and not play normal , today he still has learning problems but he's normal!

@TheAutumBlog the problem with the autism diagnoses is that it is only based on a triad of behavioral symptoms, so according to diagnostic criteria, as long as those are present the diagnoses will remain as autism. How many times do you read on the net or watch video clips where people that are diagnosed as having fragile x are also said to be autistic. Not just fragile x, but that which is causing their autism.

@NKKPPAS True autism is autistic behaviors that exist after things like mitochondrial disorders, intellectual disabilities, Landau-Kleffner syndrom, food allergies, etc are ruled out.
