What is Autism?

Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a complex developmental disability that affects how a child perceives, processes, and responds to external stimuli. It significantly impacts communication, social interaction, and behavior. Children with autism may struggle with understanding language, forming social connections, and responding appropriately to their environment. They may also engage in repetitive behaviors and have difficulty with sensory processing.

Signs and Symptoms of Autism:

Children with autism may exhibit a variety of symptoms, which can vary greatly in severity. Common signs include:

  • Communication Delays: This includes delayed babbling, failure to develop speech, or regression in language skills. Some children may engage in echolalia, where they repeat words or phrases.
  • Social Difficulties: These children may avoid eye contact, have trouble engaging with others, or struggle to play with toys appropriately. They may also show difficulty in regulating emotions and engaging in social play.
  • Repetitive Behaviors: Repetitive actions such as hand flapping, rocking, or excessive jumping are common. Children may fixate on specific activities or objects.
  • Sensory Sensitivities: Children with autism may react unusually to loud sounds, bright lights, or textures. They may be hypersensitive to sensory stimuli or seek out excessive sensory input.

Causes of Autism:

The exact cause of autism remains unknown, but several factors may contribute to the development of ASD:

  1. Genetics: A family history of autism or other developmental disorders may increase the risk.
  2. Environmental Factors: Pollutants, infections, or complications during pregnancy could play a role.
  3. Neuroinflammation: Chronic inflammation in brain cells (neurons) is suspected to affect brain development.
  4. Toxins and Infections: Exposure to heavy metals or infections during pregnancy could contribute to the condition.

Homeopathic Treatment for Autism:

Homeopathy offers individualized treatment for autism, focusing on addressing the unique needs and symptoms of each child. Homeopathic remedies aim to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, improving communication, social skills, and behavior.

Toe walking can be commonly seen in children who are just beginning to walk but it can also be found in Autism, Cerebral palsy, Sensory processing disorder, etc.

Toe walking is common with most autistic children who are having tactile sensory issues. means their feet are very sensitive to touch and they toe walk. With proper sensory integration and the right homeopathic medicine for autism, toe walking can be improved.

Autism can be prevented if the mother avoids the usage of alcohol and drugs during pregnancy, or if correct homeopathic medicine is employed during and after pregnancy to mother and child. If the child is autistic, Homeopathy can be given to improve his capabilities to handle things around him and make him independent. Modern medicine has no cure for Autism but by giving homeopathic medicines, there is a significant improvement in autistic symptoms as homeopathic medicines stimulate the brain to perform its best.

Modern medicine has no cure for Autism but by giving homeopathic medicines, there is a significant improvement in Autistic symptoms. Homeopathic medicines act at the genetic level thereby improving the symptoms of the patient without any side effects. Based on our past experiences, we have achieved a 54% success rate in overall cases of Autism.

  • Autism with Mild to Moderate, symptoms improve up to 71%
  • Severe Autism cases are difficult to improve, but the further progression of the disease can be arrested
  • Autism without brain damage has a good scope for improvement
  • Autism with brain damage has limitations in Improvement

Improvement differs from case to case depending on several factors on how much we are able to understand the child’s symptoms and how does the child responds to our medicines.

Autism usually manifests itself at the age of 15-18 months. Though some children may show symptoms even before 1 year of age.

Primary Autism is a type of Autism where the cause is during pregnancy or during labor. In such cases, a very observant mother can notice symptoms as early as 7-8 months of age.

Officially we refrain from labeling someone as autistic till age 2.5 yrs, where a clinical psychologist analyzes the symptoms of a child and confirm the diagnosis of Autism.

Yes. They can live independently if appropriately treated.

A mild form of autism responds nicely and lives independently sooner. While it is a challenging task for moderate to severe forms of autism but with the help of homeopathic medicines these forms can also be nicely taken care of.

Our motto at Homoeocare is “A journey from being Dependant to Being Independent.”

A mild autistic child can go to a normal school whereas moderate and severely autistic children require special school.

After the successful homeopathic treatment, as the child shows improvement he/she can be shifted to normal school.

The main problem here in such cases is the education system, which adopts a policy age bar policy for admission in schools. So if the child is below or over his age, then he is denied admission to the school.

Now in Autism, the child is already having speech and language difficulty. After some time when the child improves, and he is ready for schooling, the school is not ready to admit him because he is too old for his age to get admission. So this more of a technical problem and not a disease problem that the child is not able to study. We suggest parents adopt Open schooling in such cases.

Most autistic children have no problem in hearing and therefore they can speak. There might be delays in speech and when the speech is present, their meaningful speech is often absent. They might either not respond or repeat certain words. They have difficulty in understanding and giving proper and appropriate responses. Though some patients with autism might have speaking difficulties.

If the child is below 5 years of age and is speaking one or two words or has a good vocabulary, such cases with a proper homeopathic medicine for autism, do develop normal speech.

 

Yes. The human brain is a large network of neurons that can be compared to an electrical device. Basically, in autism, there is a defect in the wiring system where a certain impulse is not headed to its area but goes somewhere else. The whole brain is hay-wired. In homeopathy, we have medicines that stimulate the brain and aids the brain to decode the impulse and give an appropriate response without any side effects.

Verbal and non-verbal communication. They are unable to express their basic needs due to a lack of communication

Social interaction is limited. Unable to relate to others.

Repetitive behaviors like flapping hands, staring at one object, smelling unusual things, etc.
