About the Author(s)
Joyce Show is a Harvard/MIT trained physician with dual certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Geriatrics. She is also the mother of seven children, including a son with severe autism. She has spent the last 10 years raising her family, including bringing up her son from a nonverbal, self-injurious state with poor motor planning to a communicative, interactive preteen who loves music, journaling, gymnastics, biking, and skiing. In her free time she researches and experiments with educational treatments for autism and learning disabilities, advocates and fundraises for improved public education for children with special needs, teaches at her parish church and school, and is an active member of a parent group called the Foothill Autism Alliance.
