This is a doctor whom I heard speak right before we went to see another DAN doctor in another state about two years ago. She recovered her daughter when she regressed into autism at age four. She is also partner of Jerry Kartzinel, Jenny McCarthy's son's pediatrician. As "luck" would have it, we got on the short waiting list to see her shortly before I found out she was about to publish a book. I know she participates in what is called the think-tank at the DAN conferences. The word that comes to mind about Dr. Buckley is "genuine." She was so clear in her presentation it about blew our minds the first time we saw her, with all of her printouts about the complicated chemistry that results in autism. Plus, she's just a likeable woman with a wonderful sense of humor. She gave me a lot of hope. I so wish now we had switched to her, but hopefully we can at least get in and see her at some point soon.
Her practice is in Jacksonville, Florida, which is about a six-hour drive for us.
Here is the link to the book below as well as her flyer for Build A Bridge Day on January 10, 2010. This is the day, we are going to give her book to our pediatricians, therapists, teachers, and families. I think it's a great idea.
Check out Julie and her site. She's also on Facebook under Healing Our Autistic Children.
Here is the amazon link as well.
And, below is the flyer!
Build A Communication Bridge on 1-10-10!
One of our most common frustrations as we work to heal our children is the difficulty we sometimes experience in communicating with therapists, or doctors, or even family members who just don’t understand, no matter how hard we try, that autism is a treatable medical disease.
Dr. Julie Buckley has written Healing Our Autistic Children to help us bridge these communication gaps. Short and eminently readable, this book introduces the reader to complex science using office visits and patient stories, including those of her own daughter. Documenting the actual published medical literature on which her approach is predicated at the end, this book also does what every physician should always ask- “Show me the science.”
Many of the autism groups have read this book and are very excited about its potential to reach the ears, hearts, and minds of those who do not know how or where to start in working toward recovery. We are proud to participate in “Build A Communication Bridge Day” on 1-10-10.
On 1-10-10, January 10th, 2010, the autism community will speak with one voice, buying and delivering copies of this book into the hands of our teachers, our therapists, our doctors, our politicians, our family members, communicating as one body the message that autism is a treatable medical disease, the science is published to explain why, and that we need to work together to heal the now 1 in 91 children finding themselves on the autism spectrum.
