According to latest statistics, one out of 68 children is affected with this disorder.

The diagnostic criterias are:

  • No babbling in babies by 12 months.
  • No gestures by 12 months.
  • No single word by 12 months.

Says Dr Dinde , “The awareness of this disorder is very poor and hence, it is diagnosed late, at around three years of age. As these kids grow, lots of behavioral issues like aggression, social withdrawal, etc crop up. Moreover , they might have various other hereditary disorders associated with it,. As they are effected at the basic development level, they have extreme dependence on their mothers. Many mothers have to leave their jobs and be shadow caretakers of such kids.”

What is ASD?

Autisum spectrum disorder is a neuro developmental disorder, which affects at three levels.

  • COMMUNICATION: Speech and language impairment, sometimes the child is unable to communicate even his basic needs. The child may even have poor or no eye contact.
  • COGNITION: Process of thinking, understanding, learning and memory are affected.
  • SOCIAL SKILLS: These are poor or not developed.

CAUSES OF ASD

Neuroanatomical studies suggest alterations of brain development (genes mutation) soon after conception.

TREATMENT

No pharmaceutical intervention is successful as the disorder is at genetic levels.Only symptomatic relief in associated complaints is achieved to some extent.

THERAPIES

Various therapies such as speech, occupational and behavioral therapies aren,t of much help in ASD but are of great help in ADHD kids.

DIET

Casein-free or gluten-free foods and other diet alterations have no evidence to help.

HOW HOMEOPATHY HELPS IN ASD

“Homeopathic medicines bring about change at the neuro developmental levels and are extremely safe for kids. In just a few weeks to a few months, positive changes are seen at the level of speech, language and cognition. Social skills start to develop gradually as the treatment progresses, thus making kids independent, communicative and ready for schooling. Clinical experience and result over the years suggest that homeopathy is believed to bring about positive changes at epigenetic levels, “ends Dr Dinde.
