In his 2007 book Changing the Course of Autism, Dr. Bryan Jepson wrote, "We need to redefine autism as a multi-organ metabolic disease that should be removed from the DSM-IV, placed in the medical textbooks instead, and routinely taught in medical schools and residencies."
ARI is thrilled to see a new medical school textbook titled Autism: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Immune Abnormalities, recently published by CRC Press, and edited by Abha Chauhan, Ved Chauhan, and W. Ted Brown.
The book covers a variety of biomedical and neurological topics such as oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, membrane and metabolism abnormalities, and signal transduction (read the chapter headings here). The writers also discuss possible implications for treatment.
Many of the contributors have received research funding from ARI, participated in our Think Tanks, and/or presented at our conferences, including Drs. Paul Ashwood, Tapan Audhya, Manuel Casanova, Richard Deth, Martha Herbert, Harumi Jyonouchi, Woody McGinnis, Judy Van de Water, and Stephen Edelson.
The book is a bit pricey, but it is a significant contribution to the field of autism; it is available at Amazon.com. Encourage your local library to buy a copy!
