AUTISM AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER

AUTO means “SELF”.

AUTISM means “To be in Yourself.”

They are in their “own world”.

Autism is a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact. Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system and affects the overall cognitive, emotional, social and physical health of the affected individual. Symptoms of autism usually appear before a child turns 3 years old. Some people show signs from birth.

SYMPTOMS OF CHILDREN DISEASE

Psychological: Unaware of others’ emotions or depression, anxiety

Also common: change in voice, or tic. High sensitivity to sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem ordinary to other people.

Some children with autism may also have seizures. These might not start until adolescence.

People with autism might have problems with learning. Their skills might develop unevenly. For example, they could have trouble communicating but unusually good at art, music, math, or memory.

People with autism have trouble with communication. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it hard for them to express themselves. They may expressed with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch, muttering.

But deeply there is always an attempt to connect in an indirect way,

– They may connect by being affectionate with their family members by hugging and kissing.
– Thru their instincts- sexual instinct
– By showing their power, anger.

Some may show features of hyperactivity, aggressiveness, hitting others, violence. Some may show features of acute fears.

CAUSES AUTISM

Exactly why autism happens isn’t clear. It could stem from problems in parts of your brain that interpret sensory input and process language.

Autism is four times more common in boys than in girls. It can happen in people of any race, ethnicity, or social background. Family income, lifestyle, or educational level doesn’t affect a child’s risk of autism.

Autism runs in families, so certain combinations of genes may increase a child’s risk.

A child with an older parent has a higher risk of autism.

If a pregnant woman is exposed to certain drugs or chemicals, like alcohol or anti-seizure medications, her child is more likely to be autistic. Other risk factors include maternal metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

TREATMENT OF AUTISM

Early treatment can make a big difference in development for a child with autism. If you think your child shows symptoms of ASD, tell your doctor as soon as possible.

What works for one person might not work for another. Your doctor should tailor treatment for you or your child.

Behavioural and Communication Therapy: To help with structure and organization. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is one of these treatments; it promotes positive behaviour and discourages negative behaviour.
Occupational Therapy: Can help with life skills like dressing, eating, and relating to people.
Sensory Integration Therapy: Might help someone who has problems with being touched or with sights or sounds. Speech therapy improves communication skills.

Medications to help with symptoms of ASD, like attention problems, hyperactivity, or anxiety

HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH:

Even in autistic child we can individualise them and give proper homoeopathic medicine. Homoeopathy medicines will help the child to come out from their own world and to be in the more realistic world.

Parents and homoeopathic doctor’s observations in such case are very important for the selection of the remedy.

What are they doing in their own world?

How they try to communicate with the outside world?

What kind of difficulties did they found during their communication?

What are their interest and hobbies, what kind of colour they like the most? Their likes and dislikes.
What are the other symptoms associated with autism?

How they perceive the outside world?

Homoeopathy integrated with other therapies gives you the best result in long run. Family support is very crucial for children.
