Homeopathic treatment for Autism

Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors. Because of the range of symptoms, this condition is now called autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 

OVERVIEW

Various theories where proposed in order to explain the pathophysiology underlying ASD.

Despite the fact that none of them is able to completely explain the impairments in the nervous system of ASD patients, these hypotheses were instrumental in highlighting the most important mechanisms in the development of this complex disorder.

Some new theories are based on neovascularization studies, others on the data from genomic studies, which become increasingly available worldwide.

As the research in this field is largely dependent on the animal models, there is an ongoing discussion and search for the most appropriate one adequately reproducing the pathology.

Here we provide an overview   of current theories of the origin and development of ASD discussed in the context of existing and proposed rodent models of ASD.

CAUSES

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by a range of signs and symptoms that vary in severity. Here are the key points:

  1. Social Communication Challenges: Difficulty with understanding social cues, such as facial expressions or body language. Individuals may struggle to initiate or maintain conversations and form relationships.

  2. Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in repetitive actions, like hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating the same words or phrases (echolalia).

  3. Restricted Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or activities, sometimes to the exclusion of other interests.

  4. Sensory Sensitivities: Over- or under-sensitivity to sensory stimuli, such as lights, sounds, textures, or smells. This can lead to sensory overload or seeking out specific sensations.

  5. Difficulty with Change: Resistance to changes in routine or environment, leading to distress or anxiety when faced with transitions or new situations.

  6. Delayed Developmental Milestones: Delays in speech, language, motor skills, and cognitive development may be noticed, though this can vary widely among individuals.

  7. Social Withdrawal: Preference for solitary activities and limited interest in social interactions with peers or family members.

These signs can be mild to severe and may vary greatly from person to person. Early detection and intervention can help improve outcomes.

TYPES

  • Asperger’s syndrome. These children don’t have a problem with language; in fact, they tend to score in the average or above-average range on intelligence tests. But they have social problems and a narrow scope of interests.
  • Autistic disorder. This is what most people think of when they hear the word “autism.” It refers to problems with social interactions, communication, and play in children younger than 3 years.
  • Childhood disintegrative disorder. These children have typical development for at least 2 years and then lose some or most of their communication and social skills.
  • Pervasive developmental disorder (PDD or atypical autism). Your doctor might use this term if your child has some autistic behavior, like delays in social and communications skills, but doesn’t fit into another category.

The common thread is differences in social skills, communication, and behavior compared with people who aren’t on the spectrum.

Social Skills:

  • Adoption of unusual speech patterns, such as using a robot-like tone
  • Avoiding eye contact with others
  • Not responding to their name
  • Prefers to be alone.
  • Doesn’t understand emotions – his own or others’
  • Apparent difficulty in understanding feelings also expressing their own

Communication:

About 40% of kids with autism spectrum disorders don’t talk at all, and between 25% and 30% develop some language skills during infancy but then lose them later. Some children with ASD start talking later in life.

Most have some problems with communication, i.e.:

  • Delayed speech and language skills
  • Having difficulty with maintaining conversation
  • Flat, either robotic speaking voice, or singsong voice
  • Echolalia (repeating the same phrase over and over)
  • Problems with pronouns (saying “you” instead of “I,” for example)
  • Not using or rarely using common gestures (in other words, pointing or waving), and not responding to them
  • Inability to stay on topic when talking or answering questions
  • Not recognizing sarcasm or joking

Patterns of Behavior:

Children with ASD also act in ways that seem unusual or have interests that aren’t typical.

For Instance:

  • Repetitive behaviors such as hand-flapping, rocking, jumping, or twirling
  • Constant moving (in other words pacing) and “hyper” behavior
  • Fixations on certain activities or objects
  • Specific routines or rituals (and getting upset when a routine is changed, even slightly)
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch, light, and sound
  • Fussy eating habits
  • Lack of coordination, clumsiness
  • Impulsiveness (in other words, acting without thinking)
  • Aggressive behavior, both with self and others
  • Short attention span

This might include i.e.

  • hearing and vision tests or
  • genetic tests

Early diagnosis can make a hug e difference in the lives of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. But it’s not always easy to make an ASD diagnosis. As an illustration, There’s no lab test for it, so doctors rely on observing the behaviors of very young children and listening to the concerns of their parents.
Pediatricians are the first step in the autism diagnosis process. Every child gets an assessment at their 18- and 24-month checkups to make sure they’re on track, even if they don’t seem to have any symptoms. At these visits, your child’s pediatrician will watch him and talk to him. Here are some milestones your doctor will be looking for:

Milestones

  • Did your baby smile by 6 months?
  • Did he mimic sounds and facial expressions by 9 months?
  • Was he babbling and cooing by 12 months?

Also, Physician will ask about these things:

  • Are any of his behaviors unusual or repetitive?
  • Does he have trouble making eye contact?
  • Does he interact with people and share experiences?
  • Is his tone of voice “flat”?
  • Does he understand other people’s actions?
  • Is he sensitive to light, noise, or temperature?
  • Any problems with sleep or digestion?
  • Does he tend to get annoyed or angry?

Your responses are very important in your child’s screening. If everything checks out and you have no concerns, that’s the end of it. 

  • Learning Disability/Intellectual Disability (LD/ID)
  • ADHD

  • Social Communication Disorder (SCD)
  • Gifted and Talented
  • Anxiety
  • Language Disorder
  • Hearing Impairment
  • Attachment Disorder
  • Regression and Rett’s
  • Genetic disorders and Syndromic
  • Epilepsy
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Sensory Processing Difficulties (SPD)
  • Vision Impairment (VI) 

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents with a variety of signs and symptoms, which can differ widely among individuals. Key signs include:

  1. Social Communication Difficulties: Struggles with understanding and engaging in social interactions, such as difficulty with eye contact, not responding to others’ emotions, or challenges in conversations.

  2. Repetitive Behaviors: Repetitive movements (e.g., hand-flapping, rocking), routines, or speech patterns (e.g., echolalia – repeating words or phrases).

  3. Narrow Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or activities, often to the exclusion of other interests.

  4. Sensory Sensitivities: Overreaction or underreaction to sensory stimuli like light, sounds, textures, or smells, leading to distress or seeking sensory input.

  5. Difficulty with Change: A strong preference for routines, and distress or resistance when changes occur in daily schedules or environments.

  6. Delayed Development: Delays in language, motor skills, or cognitive milestones, though some may develop normally and then regress.

  7. Social Withdrawal: Limited desire to engage in play or interactions with others, often preferring solitary activities.

Symptoms vary and may change over time, requiring early intervention for better outcomes.

WHAT TO EAT

For individuals with autism, a well-balanced diet is crucial for supporting overall health and well-being. There is no one-size-fits-all diet, but some studies suggest that certain dietary changes may help manage symptoms. Many individuals with autism have gastrointestinal issues, so a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet is sometimes recommended, as these proteins may contribute to digestive discomfort or behavioral symptoms in some individuals. Additionally, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds) may support brain health and cognitive function. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains helps ensure essential nutrients are met. It is important to limit processed foods, added sugars, and artificial additives, as these can potentially exacerbate hyperactivity or behavioral issues. Some individuals benefit from vitamin and mineral supplements, especially magnesium and vitamin B6, but these should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Each person’s dietary needs are unique, so consulting with a dietitian is recommended.

DIET AND REGIMEN

Special Diets:

There’s no hard evidence that special diets help children with ASD.

Autism is a complex brain disorder. While it may seem that cutting out certain foods could relieve your child’s symptoms, it might actually cause more harm.

For example, children with autism often have thinner bones. Dairy products contain nutrients that can help to make them stronger.

There have been studies on a protein in milk products called casein. They found that many children performed the same whether they or not they ate foods that contained this protein.

Ask the Experts:

Your child’s diet needs to support her specific nutritional needs and ASD symptoms. The best approach is to work with your doctor and a nutrition specialist — like a registered dietician. They’ll help you design a meal plan tailored for your child.

Some children with autism have digestive problems like constipation, belly pain, or nausea and vomiting. Your doctor can suggest a diet that won’t make them worse.

And remember, nutritional needs change over time. Your child’s dietician will help you make sure the foods she eats are still meeting her needs as she gets older.

Can Supplements Help?

Many studies show they can boost nutrition and calm some symptoms of ASD. You might want to ask your doctor about the following:

Fatty acids:

Essential fatty acids or EFAs  help the brain and immune system develop.

Omega-3 and omega-6 are excellent sources. Your body doesn’t make them, so you’ll have to get them either from food you eat, or from supplements.

Omega-3 can be found in seafood like salmon, albacore tuna, and shellfish.
Omega-6 is in meat, eggs, and dairy, and vegetable oils.
Probiotics:
The body needs good bacteria to help with digestion. In fact, they live in and protect the digestive tract.
Probiotic supplements contain these healthy germs. They also help control swelling and inflammation, both of which are closely linked to autism.

Vitamins and minerals:

It’s common for autistic children to not get enough of these. Much of the time, they stem from very strict eating habits.

Vitamin and mineral supplements can help balance your child’s system and make sure she’s getting the nutrients her body needs.
