Review

Praise for Mother Warriors

“Another emotional and personal book that details other parents' struggles to heal their children with autism. McCarthy explains to doubters that no two children heal the same way and offers plenty of evidence to prove her point… The stories speak for themselves.”—

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read despite the lies
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 26, 2022
This book is a real page-turner; I could hardly put it down. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros: You can tell Jenny truly loves her son and would do anything for him. She was obviously a desperate mother who wanted answers, and she was told that autism could be cured through strict behavior therapy and diet. ("Clean out" the toxins from the vaccines, apparently.) A doctor told her that, another celebrity mother of an autistic child told her that, a special diet book for autistic kids told her that----what was she supposed to think? You can truly relate to how much she suffered and pulled herself through at the end.

Cons: She might as well change her name to Jenny McContradicty. A week before her son was diagnosed with autism, she said herself that she "thanked God" her son was not autistic. That right there says that had her own precious little son never been diagnosed, she wouldn't have cared less about autism at all. (Furthermore, if autism isn't a bad thing, why did she go to such great lengths to "cure" him of it?) She claimed she "vowed to not make Evan a guinea pig" but that's EXACTLY-on-the-ball what she did!! (To put it mildly: Mormons, rosaries, holy water, mystics, behavior/speech therapists, strict diet restriction---you name it, she tried it, all to "cure" Evan's autism.)

Bottom line: if you want an interesting, fast read, you will enjoy the book. You can definitely relate to at least one of her many hardships. (If anything, it will probably make you appreciate and love your own life more.) BUT obviously DON'T believe that autism is on the rise because of vaccines.
