After your child has been prescribed the best homeopathic remedy for autism treatment, understanding the progression of autism treatment is a crucial step for achieving long-lasting results. Just as several natural phenomena around us follow a definite path and progression, e.g. natural processes like the changing seasons follow a definite pattern, autism treatment also follows a definite pattern of improvements. This is very vital and any discrepancy in these steps will not give a complete cure for autism in your child. The 5 steps are concrete and must be observed in strict order. If a child misses a step, it is less likely that he will achieve that improvement at a later stage

Here, we will understand the essential stages of improvement in autism treatment and why each step is important for long-term success.

1. Eye Contact Development

The first sign of progress in autism treatment is the child making eye contact. This critical milestone is essential because, without eye contact, other improvements are unlikely to endure. Making eye contact is the earliest clear sign that treatment is starting to make a difference. It shows that treatment has started to work and makes a foundation for further improvements

2. Responding to Name

The second important step is when the child begins responding to their name. When you call them, they should look towards you. Name response (NR) is a sign of development, indicating that the child is becoming more aware of his surroundings and the people around them. It’s a significant milestone in the autism treatment process.

3. Intellectual Development

The third stage of improvement focuses on intellectual development. At this point, the child’s cognitive abilities begin to emerge. They start recognizing colours and objects and may begin to babble and identify basic items. Recognition of colours, and objects like names of all animals, identifying the body parts, and naming some body parts signifies the development of intellectual faculties in the child. Speech might not develop immediately, but you may observe the early signs of speech development such as the child using basic words like "mama" or "papa." This stage indicates the child’s increasing ability to understand and engage with his surroundings.

4. Emotional Development

The fourth step in improvement is development of emotions. children with autism often lack fear or anxiety, which can be risky. Effective treatment should lead to the development of these essential emotions of fear and anxiety. As a result, the child learns to avoid potential hazards and understand their environment better. This emotional development helps the child of safety and overall well-being. They also start recognizing the relationships, able to understand who their parents are and may address them as “papa” and “mamma”. A very significant step for the complete recovery of autism in your child. The child who was previously absorbed in their own world is now beginning to interact more with friends and family. This is a very significant step toward the complete recovery of autism in your child.

5. Speech Development

The final stage of improvement in autism treatment is speech development. Once emotional development is on track, the child's ability to communicate verbally starts to enhance. They will begin forming longer sentences and engaging more effectively with others. This stage signifies a significant milestone in the child’s communication skills and social interaction. This starts with the formation of two-word sentences like “give apple”, and “give water” to a three-word sentence like “give me apple”, and “give me water” and finally into more complex sentences

Observing the Stages

Watching these stages is important for tracking progress in autism treatment. Parents should keep a close eye on each stage to make sure their child is moving forward as expected. Skipping any of these steps might lead to temporary progress and possible setbacks. These stages are a normal part of development and are key to long-term improvement.

Hyperactivity Post-Improvement

It is not uncommon for children to exhibit symptoms of hyperactivity (ADHD) after significant improvements in autism treatment. While this can be concerning for parents, it is a normal part of the process of autism reversal. Children may transition from autism to showing symptoms of ADHD before they are ready to integrate into a regular school environment. This hyperactivity often indicates that the treatment is effective and is having a positive effect on the reversal of autism and the child is progressing normally through the developmental stages.
