She was a beautiful doelike child, with an intense, graceful fragility. In her first year, she picked up words, smiled and laughed, and learned to walk. But then Anne-Marie began to turn inward. And when her little girl lost some of the words she had acquired, cried inconsolably, and showed no interest in anyone around her, Catherine Maurice took her to doctors who gave her a devastating diagnosis: autism.
In their desperate struggle to save their daughter, the Maurices plunged into a medical nightmare of false hopes, "miracle cures," and infuriating suggestions that Anne-Marie's autism was somehow their fault. Finally, Anne-Marie was saved by an intensive behavioral therapy.
Let Me Hear Your Voice is a mother's illuminating account of how one family triumphed over autism. It is an absolutely unforgettable book, as beautifully written as it is informative.

From Kirkus Reviews
A vivid and uplifting story of how a family pulled not one but two children out of the torments of autism--and into a normal life. Maurice is the pseudonym for a mother of three whose courage and determination overrode the pessimistic prognosis that ``autism is incurable.'' She was already pregnant with her third child when her one-year-old daughter, Anne-Marie, was diagnosed as autistic. Maurice and her husband cast about to find not merely a relief from symptoms but a cure, finally adopting the form of behavior modification found successful in carefully controlled studies by O. Ivar Lovaas, a California-based researcher. The program involved a daily regimen of repetitious training, the resetting of patterns of behavior that had gone awry, and the replacement of sympathy by discipline, interrupting the child's repetitive motions and self- withdrawal no matter how she resisted or cried. The family hired a teacher skilled in behavior modification who worked with Anne-Marie every day, as well as a speech therapist who visited three times a week. To counter what she at first felt were the mechanistic techniques of behavior modification, Maurice also took up ``holding therapy,'' which calls for holding the child tightly for at least an hour a day. It was the behavioral techniques that succeeded, and, in less than two years, the girl was pronounced ``normal''--as was Maurice's younger son, also autistic. Unlike other recent books about children who've recovered from autism (e.g., Donna Williams's Nobody Nowhere, 1992), this offers not only hope but a road map, with names, addresses, and phone numbers for Lovaas and others. (Caveat: Behavioral therapy, Maurice says, benefits measureably only about 50% of autistic kids.) Powerful in her detailing and in her intelligent, honest observations, Maurice offers new strength to parents who refuse to give up on their autistic children. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

yet the book sounds like it was written by a PhD level Child Psychiatrist
By Amazon Customer
Whoever wrote this book has incredible written skills. I believe Catherine Maurice was a stay at home mom at the time, yet the book sounds like it was written by a PhD level Child Psychiatrist. I don't know many stay at home moms who can write like that. No coincidence that the book is one big sales pitch for Doctors who were pitching ABA therapy in its infancy, back in the 90's when this was written. The entire book is dated and misleading. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wasn't looking for a miracle cure the way this book would lead inexperienced people to believe is out there. I have two children on the spectrum and we got them the same ABA therapy described in the book, before they were three. It did not make them "normal" in any capacity. I've seen very few changes that wouldn't have occurred naturally with time. I believe the book claims 47% can become normal if subjected to ABA at an early age. I guess my kids didn't make the cut...or any of the other kids in their classes who have not become "normal" in the past 7 years that I've observed them all. In my children's classes I have seen 0% become normal by any contemporary standards. It's also horrible to act like autism is a death sentence, as if it were terminal cancer. She saved her two kids "from the ashes" through ABA therapy and praying. I guess I failed mine because I didn't pray and now they're dead? Quite the contrary, they're just as happy and healthy as any "normal" kids I know. So what do I have to be sorry about it? Answer: nothing. Not a death sentence at all. In fact, it's been a lot of shocking, unforeseen blessings to our family. I've been observing autistic children for years and I've never seen one who got cured in the capacity that is described in this book....twice!...two miracles!...baloney, I don't believe it. Desperate, gullible people who want to believe in fantasy land miracles will love this book.

I used this book 12 year ago with great success
By a reader
I read this book in the year 1999 when my son was three years old and had just been correctly diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which means he was in the autistic spectrum. I did the therapy following the curriculum found in this book and also used another book the author wrote (Behavioral Intervention ...). My son's response to the treatment I myself implemented guided by this book was immediate. Going foward 12 years, I am proud to say that my 15 year old son is a totally typical student in one of the most prestigious high schools in the city (that high school is the dream of every kid in my city, but only 1 in 5 is accepted to it). He has no symptoms of autism. He plays 2 musical instruments, has friends and does not know that he ever had a problem. HE WAS SAVED BY CATHERINE'S BOOKS. CATHERINE, IF YOU READ THIS, PLEASE KNOW THAT I HAVE AN ENORMOUS GRATITUTE TO YOU. WITHOUT YOUR BOOKS I WOULD HAVE LOST MY SON. THANK YOU!

If you have a child with autism or know a child with autism, this book is for you
By LiteratureTeacher
Two and half years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with autism. Terror, loneliness, and a lack of knowledge wreaked havoc on our family life. We read a lot of books, joined online communities, and finally got her into a very limited ABA program that is part of a university research lab (only once a week during semesters). Through it all our extended family at first denied and then accepted the diagnosis, but other than expressing sympathy, they were at a loss as to how to empathize with us. "Let Me Hear Your Voice" expresses all that we went through. Additionally, it reinforced what we have been learning, that ABA works for some children and that it needs to be done intensively. Ms Maurice also is honest that her children made remarkably "quick" progress and that this is not necessarily the case for all children with autism because each child has varying degrees of the three main categories of symptoms: language (expressive and receptive) delays and disorders; social skills delays and disorders, and obsessively habitual body movements that are unusual.
"Let Me Hear Your Voice" brings readers into the Maurices' world and shows us the fears, the lack of knowledge, the loneliness, and how it can be overcome by taking control of the situation through research, a supportive family, and through the application of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Although she clearly states that their therapy was successful, she cannot promise it will work for all; but she demonstrates that taking initiative and using the science behind the therapy progress can be made.
Most importantly, she eloquently communicates what it is like to be in a family afflicted with autism, which is something that most of us cannot adequately communicate; therefore, this book should be read by everyone who is affected: within the nuclear family, extended family, and even friends of the family.
After reading this story, readers will have learned what autism really is and how everyone needs to work together to help the child and the family make progress against autism.
