About this listen

The Thinking Moms’ Revolution (TMR) is a group of 23 moms (and one awesome dad) from Montana to Malaysia who all have children with developmental disabilities. Initially collaborating online about therapies, biomedical intervention, alternative medicine, special diets, and doctors on the cutting edge of treatment approaches to an array of chronic and developmental disabilities, such as autism, sensory processing disorders, food allergies, ADHD, asthma, and seizures, they've come together into something far more substantial.

Suspecting that some of the main causes may be overused medicines, vaccinations, environmental toxins, and processed foods, they began a mission to help reverse the effects. In the process, they became a tight-knit family dedicated to helping their kids shed their diagnoses.

Here, collected by Helen Conroy and Lisa Joyce Goes, are the stories of their fights to recover their kids from autism and related disorders. With each chapter written by a different TMR member, they share how they discovered one another, what they learned from one another, and why it’s important to have close friends who understand what it's like to parent a child with special needs. You'll read about their experiences, and learn how their determination and friendships have become a daily motivation for parents worldwide.

The complete list of narrators includes Amanda Carlin, Nicol Zanzarella, and Abby Craden.

Editorial reviews

Every one of these true stories of parents who took matters into their own hands when faced with the frustration and bewilderment that come with raising developmentally delayed children are heartrendingly raw but they reward the listener with wit, hope, and inspiration.

The audiobook performances capture the despair and rage that give way to the powerful love and determination of these parents, rising to life's challenges, triumphing in the act of telling their stories, and building a community of support to light the way down the road to recovery.
