Reseña del libro "Mathew: The Place of Faith in the Life of a Family With an Autistic Child (en Inglés)"
Matthew: The Place of Faith in the Life of a Family With an Autistic Child by Fr. Louis Fowoyo is a non-fictional, faith-centred book about Matthew, who suffers form autism. His inspiring story embodies hope in the face of hardship.Matthew was born one month premature. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of four. He was non-verbal, with severe sensory and behavioural problems. Even with a whole team of specialists trying to help him, nothing seemed to be working and I was at my wits end.A friend of mine recommended that I take him to a naturopath doctor, who told us Matthew had severe allergies to gluten, dairy, and a few others confirmed by blood work.The doctor recommended a strict diet and supplements. He told us it would take a year to clean him out.Astonishingly, when the year finished, Matthew began to talk. He had fewer behavioural problems, but still had a ways to go.Matthew is now 20 years old, finishing grade 12 by home schooling.He still needs care in areas, but he's a loving, bright man with a great sense of humour. We all love him very much.I recommend to others prayer, love, patience, naturopathic help, and diet.
