Jenny McCarthy made this book even more famous when she referenced it extensively in her 2008 bestseller, Louder Than Words:
"I knew the months ahead would seem like years while I waited for services, so I decided to educate myself on diet interventions. I ordered a book called Special Diets for Special Kids Two. … The book came in the mail. Special Diets for Special Kids Two. I couldn't wait to read it and fill my eager heart with more knowledge. I was blown away when I read that mothers often noticed that their autistic children were malnourished because they couldn’t absorb nutrients from food. … Could it really be true? Could diet make that much of an impact? … I found it completely fascinating and exciting that a diet could help. … I couldn’t believe that the gut could correlate to the brain and that what I fed Evan could have a direct link to his behaviors. But I was inspired and willing to give a diet a shot. … so I made this my new mission."
