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.

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.

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.
