Dr. Julie Buckley, as featured in Jenny McCarthy's book, is located in Jacksonville, Florida. We flew all the way from Washington DC, booked a hotel and rented a car to simply have a single moment with her.
Now, I am not sure about those of you who are reading our blog but WE have not encountered a cutting-edge, proactive doctor for quite some time. This is not to say that we are without help or hope...but it has been some time, nevertheless.
In the past month both of our autistic children seemed to slide into a downward spiral with no fair warning or reason. Days of endless chatter and limited verbalization met nights of restless, sleepless anxiety. Enough was enough so we called on Dr, Buckley, our last hope at our last straw.
With an office located in a quiet marsh stricken neighborhood, one would never anticipate the unmatched confidence that expelled so peacefully from within. Maintaing a cozy playground in the front yard and a AWESOME waiting room clearly designed for autistic little ones, a parent couldn't help but find themselves relaxed. Add the bulletin board strewn with autism related postings and a little fridge containing GAPS "whipped cream"....this could be our version of heaven.
Could it be? That there was a heaven that lay just outside our endless purgatories door? Could it be? A heavenly being with a profound understanding of the way god created our little ones with a fearless, confident and extremely reassured attitude that this was indeed the end of the struggle?
It was. Dr. Buckley is a mother of a 14 year old autistic child. Her methods are real, proactive and TANGIBLE. No cooky brain washing hypnosis or endless injections. Simple. Raw. Real. HOPE.
Our children, especially our worst, have not been the same since initial contact with Dr. Buckley. Even without a single physical treatment, their attitudes changed into happy, smiling, calm and hopeful; as if they themselves knew they were going to get better.
I highly recommend seeing Dr. Buckley under any costs. For the first time in 13 years, we believe there is a chance our children will live a functional, main stream life.
Stay tuned for more in depth postings regarding Dr. Buckley and our ongoing treatments!
