About.com, a New York Times company Web site, rates HealingThresholds.com the best resource on the web for non-scientists interested in reviewing research evidence regarding autism therapies and treatments. Lisa Jo Rudy, About.com writer, states: "When I first started looking into autism treatments, I found myself overwhelmed. The "evidence" available included either highly technical journal articles or highly emotional anecdotal stories of "recovery." I couldn't really wrap my brain around which research studies were truly significant, nor could I determine whether a success story was for real, or just wishful thinking.
Then Healing Thresholds came along.
Healing Thresholds, from what I can tell, takes a unique approach to providing information about autism treatments. In addition to a straightforward presentation of the treatment, its theory, and its application, it also provides links to layperson summaries of each scientific study cited in the text. The summaries are specifically targeted to intelligent lay adults - that is, to parents (and teachers) for whom technical journal articles are either unavailable or unintelligible."
