In this deeply moving and thought-provoking episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards welcomes back one of his most impactful guests, J.B. Handley—author of How to End the Autism Epidemic and co-author, alongside his son Jamie, of Underestimated: An Autism Miracle. What begins as a conversation about science and controversy quickly transforms into a profound journey of hope, transformation, and rediscovery.
J.B. shares the extraordinary story of Jamie, his non-speaking autistic son, whose life changed when he discovered spelling as a way to communicate. Through candid reflection, emotional breakthroughs, and practical insight, J.B. recounts their family’s path from despair to empowerment. He also tackles the controversial rise in autism diagnoses, potential environmental triggers, and the emotional burden parents carry when traditional medicine offers little hope.
Whether you're a parent, healthcare professional, or simply someone seeking truth and humanity in the autism conversation, this episode will challenge assumptions, ignite compassion, and inspire you to never give up on the potential within every child.
