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. Though this is marketed as a book of hope, it makes me pretty scared to live or breed in a world where so many (risk factors) can't be avoided. Still, I couldn't put this book down because of the subject matter, and because if there is anything at all that can be done to help the autistic child and his/her parents, wouldn't you want to know about it?
He makes a ton of suggestions for different tests to get and many of his treatment strategies are based on strengthening and weakening habits of mind and body to achieve desired balance. There is debate on both sides of whether he's a quack, and criticism that he is a chiropractor, not a physician. His centers provide a ridiculously expensive "brain balance" program based on his ideas. He has an extremely interesting theory, but still not based on scientific evidence (testimonies are not scientific, measurable evidence).
