The Gift from My Son

At twelve months old, Benjamin was a normal baby. Between 12 to 18 months though - and possibly due to an adverse reaction from a vaccine - Benjamin’s language and social skills deteriorated rapidly and he began to turn inward. Up to this point, Benjamin’s story follows the unfortunately familiar pattern of children who are diagnosed with autism. The Gift From My Son, however, is a story of autism unlike any other. Avoiding the behavioural therapy approach that is so popular, Lindelien learned to meet Benjamin at his level, as an individual and was rewarded with insights into the mind of an autistic child that include an altogether new theory about the role of left versus right brain dominance. She, also, reveals a number of natural medicine therapies that reversed many of Benjamin’s worst symptoms.
