Welcome, friends, to this critical discussion on autism, marking the conclusion of years of dedicated research and clinical experience. Over the past few years, I've explained various aspects of autism through my videos, helping parents to understand autism, its symptoms, sensory manifestations, and the best homeopathic treatment for Autism. However, today's blog is especially significant as I disclose the findings of our extensive research covering six years of autism treatment in our clinics.

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism, also referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a diverse range of symptoms. The term "spectrum" denotes the variability in symptoms and its presentation among different children with autism. This variability prompted the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to categorise autism under a broad spectrum, recognising the unique traits and challenges shown by every child.

When approaching autism treatment, understanding the specific type and severity of autism in each child is vital. ASD is categorised into primary and secondary autism based on the origin of symptoms and their severity levels. Primary autism entails symptoms present from birth, while secondary autism manifests after a period of apparently normal development, typically around 18 months of age.

Decoding the types of autism - Primary and Secondary Autism

Identifying whether a child shows primary or secondary autism helps in fine-tuning the treatment options. Primary Autism, which originates from birth, often correlates with factors such as prenatal stresses, maternal health during pregnancy, or genetic predispositions. Secondary autism, on the other hand, may start from triggers such as environmental factors, postnatal stresses, or adverse reactions to vaccinations.



Research Insights: Analyzing 350 Cases

Our research went into the characteristics and outcomes of 350 autism cases treated over six years. Here are some of the key points collected from our analysis:

  1. Prevalence of Primary and Secondary Autism: We discovered that approximately 37% of the children had primary autism, while 63% exhibited secondary autism. This indicates that out of the children who visited our clinic, 37% displayed symptoms of primary autism, whereas a significant 63% had secondary autism. This data prompted further exploration into why we're observing a higher incidence of secondary autism cases post-pandemic.

  2. Gender Distribution: The next aspect we investigated was the gender distribution among autism cases. We examined the ratio of males to females among the children diagnosed with autism who visited our clinic. Our findings revealed that 24% of the cases were females, while almost 76% were males. This illustrates the ratio of females to males among all the autism cases we encountered in our clinic.

  3. Severity Levels: The third aspect we explored was to assess the severity levels of the autism cases. We categorized these cases into mild, moderate, and severe categories. We observed that a higher number of cases fall under the category of moderate autism compared to mild and severe categories.

  4. Maternal Health and Delivery: Additionally, we investigated the labor and pregnancy history of these cases. Our findings revealed that in almost 64% of the cases, mothers underwent delivery via C-section, while 36% had a normal delivery. These findings, along with other smaller research points, have contributed to our better understanding of autism and its probable causes, and the importance of guiding future mothers to be aware of these factors to prevent autism from its inception.

  5. Identifying Probable Causes: Now, a very important point to consider is that we endeavour to identify the major causes of autism. In Homeopathy, we also recognize the emotional factor as one of the most significant contributors to autism. Therefore, we attempt to determine the various causes of autism (ailments from) and compare them to primary and secondary autism.
     

    a) Screen Exposure

    We analyzed the prevalence of certain factors like screen time exposure and differentiated between primary and secondary autism cases. We observed that only 3% of the children with primary autism had a history of excessive screen time exposure, whereas in secondary autism cases, this figure was significantly higher at more than 43%. This shows that during the pandemic, when the parents were busy with work from home, and no one to take care of the child, he was given plenty of screen time, and hence we have seen a 7-fold jump in autism cases post-pandemic.



     

    b) Emotional Factors

    Another notable factor we investigated was the feeling of being forsaken during pregnancy. This could manifest when the mother felt neglected, alone, or unsupported due to various family problems, such as the husband being away for work in a different city. We found that 25% of primary autism cases were associated with such feelings during pregnancy, whereas only 16% of secondary autism cases showed similar associations.
     

    c) Fear

    Furthermore, we investigated other potential triggers such as maternal fear during pregnancy and the history of vaccination. We observed that 14% of primary autism cases were associated with maternal fear, while only 9% of secondary autism cases showed similar associations. We also considered other emotional factors like separation, illness, anger, grief, or financial stress and compared its results with primary and secondary autism. Extreme emotional turbulence during the second trimester has a significant impact on autism in children.
     

    d) Hypoxia during Labor

    Additionally, we explored the occurrence of hypoxia during labor, which occurs when the child experiences a lack of oxygen during delivery, leading to an impact on the brain. We found that 27% of primary autism cases were linked to hypoxia, indicating that primary autism is more commonly associated with this factor compared to secondary autism.
     

    e) Vaccinations

    We found that vaccination had minimal association with primary autism, with only 3% of cases having a history of vaccination. However, in secondary autism cases, approximately 12% had a history of bad effects of vaccination.
     

    f)  Antibiotics and other medications

    We examined the potential impact of antibiotics and other allopathic medicines given during pregnancy or in the early stages of childhood. It was observed that side effects of allopathic medications were seen in 5% of secondary autism cases and 3 % in Primary autism cases.

This comprehensive understanding of the various percentages of the causes of autism observed in our clinics provides valuable insights for further research and guidance for future parents to prevent autism from its inception.

Prognosis and Treatment Outcomes

This detailed understanding is an eye-opener for us in managing autism. Now we know what are the major causes, and we are guiding parents and expectant mothers on how to manage their pregnancies to potentially prevent autism in their child.

Another crucial point is about the prognosis in autism cases. Many people believe that autism cannot be helped, and some even argue that autism is not a disease. We're not here to debate whether autism is a disease or a disorder, as classified by the DSM. Instead, we're focused on helping every child with autism. Our motto is “From Dependence to Independence.”

The results of our study were surprising and encouraging. Despite the belief that autism is incurable, we have found that almost 42% of the cases in our clinic showed significant improvement. This is a very good number and this demonstrates that Autism can get better. However, 34% of the patients did not continue their treatment, which is a big concern. I urge all parents not to discontinue treatment prematurely due to doubts or external opinions, and be misguided with others. Consistent treatment can lead to significant improvement in your child with Autism.

Additionally, 18% of the cases showed remarkable results, with almost a complete reversal of autism symptoms. If you combine both these figures, then nearly 60% of the patients in our clinic showed significant improvement or near-reversal of symptoms. Only 6% did not show improvement, which is a relatively small number.

 

Prognosis and Treatment Outcomes



I do not claim to have a cure for autism for all patients, but our goal is to provide the maximum possible help to these children and achieve the best possible results in Autism. We are pleased to report that our efforts have led to a better understanding and significant improvements in many cases.

This research is crucial, and we are excited to share these findings with every parent. We hope that this information can help educate others and encourage parents to consider homeopathy as a major alternative treatment for autism.

Top 10 Homeopathic Remedies for Autism

While each case requires individualized treatment, certain homeopathic remedies have shown efficacy in managing autism symptoms. Our analysis identified the following as commonly prescribed remedies:

A Ray of Hope


Our research on autism offers a ray of hope for families suffering from the trauma. By understanding the complexities of autism and adopting a personalized homeopathic treatment, significant improvements and even reversals of symptoms are achievable. I urge every parents to remain persistent in their pursuit to help their child with autism and to explore homeopathy as a viable option for autism management.

Together, let's spread this awareness of autism and adopt a supportive environment for every child. If you have any questions or concerns regarding autism, please feel free to contact the best homeopathic doctor for autism.
