Andrew Wakefield reveals the inside story of desperate parents trying to help their autistic children, only to be labeled as abusers by social workers, medical professionals, and the courts.
As the number of children diagnosed with autism
spectrum disorders grows each year, new discoveries and
controversies arise. Andrew Wakefield explores many of these
in his thorough investigation of the recent trial case of the
“Arizona 5,” which destroyed an Arizona family. Two parents,
with five children on the spectrum, were accused of Münchausen
syndrome by proxy—a rare form of child abuse—and were ganged
up on by physicians, child protective services, and the
courts, who alleged that the parents fabricated medical
symptoms in all five children. However, Wakefield now presents
ample evidence that was disregarded and which would have
proven the parents’ innocence.
Families affected by autism suffer great hardship and
prejudice, particularly as they navigate the uncertain waters
of diagnosis, treatment, and education. The shocking story of
the Arizona 5 family delves into the tremendous challenges
some parents have to face, especially if their views on how to
treat the syndrome don’t align with the medical world’s
standards. Wakefield also includes numerous studies and
research trials that support the controversial yet significant
roles that vaccines and diet play in autism, factors many
medical professionals wrongfully dismiss.
