There was something wrong with Ryan. His parents knew it before the psychiatrist predicted he would end up in an institution. Ryan was diagnosed as autistic at age four. He wouldn't look people in the eye, had troubles with socialization, difficulties with language and more like most kids that range from mild, to severe autism, or even asperbergers. Like all parents who receive this diagnosis, that day changed everything as your ticket is punched to autism island, population one or two. There was no understanding your child with autism . . . no manual for parenting autism . . . recovery from autism . . . there was no cure . . . there was no hope. Or was there?

I Know You're in There tells the true story of how, through diet, applied behavior analysis (ABA), consistent and rigorous medical treatment, and more, Ryan's family took the jump and was able work on healing the symptoms known as autism and ultimately to overcome autism. It took a lot of trial and error, but today Ryan isn't just high functioning on the autism spectrum disorder, but rather uniquely human and is an aerospace engineer, has friends, relationships, and lives a happy "typical" life. His recovery wasn't miraculous, but instead the result of getting proper medical care, and his parents never taking "no" for an answer.

This book provides an early start for your child with autism. Marcia sincerely provides real world examples and actionable steps to take to get your child the treatment and care that could help them beat autism. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, or the warning signs are there, which are also covered here, I Know You're in There is an indispensable resource in your fight against autism spectrum disorder.

Thirteen years later, that training came in handy when Ryan came along and their lives changed forever.

Marcia's most impressive credential for writing this book is that she is Ryan's and Megan's mother and her family survived their war against autism. As a result of combining medical, behavioral, and educational interventions, Ryan recovered. Ryan now works as an aerospace systems engineer for a major Fortune 500 company. But more important than that . . . Ryan has friends, a social life, and is happy. In short, he is living the life all parents want for their children. He does everything the "experts" said would never happen. Ryan's inspirational story brings hope to families in the trenches still struggling to help their children.
