However, I'm hesitant to give it more stars after doing a little homework, because much of what Melillo focuses on (right-brain/left-brain balance) is just his theory which has NOT yet been clinically proven. He ventures so deeply into etiology (naming dozens of risk factors that are accumulative), it almost makes you wonder how there are still any kids without ASD.

There is debate on both sides of whether he's a quack, and criticism that he is a chiropractor, not a physician.
