Journal of Lifestyle Medicine: Patricia Lemer on Outsmarting AutismIn 2008 Patricia Lemer published her first book on Autism, and she thought her work as an author was done. Over the next few years, however, science began proving the prevailing theories about the cause, treatment and prevention of Autism Spectrum disorders. Her new book Outsmarting Autism, now out on Kindle and due soon in print, brings together all that is known about this wide spectrum of developmental disorders in one 500 page compendium. 

In this interview, Lemer covers the five essential steps to treating autism, her career of four decades as founder of Developmental Delay Resources (DDR), and the upcoming "Conversation" about Vaccination set for Sept 12 at Phipps Conservatory. This topic, she says, is the most divisive and controversial issue in medicine today, and this is an opportunity to allow cooler, reasoned conversation around the topic. 

Also in this cast, a weekly update from Trenton Oczypok of Organically Social, who starts a pre-sale on the discount card this week, and from Joe Venare of Fittsburgh, who we caught up with at the Popup Wellness Fair in Market Square.
