Autism is a disorder in which children have impaired or poor communication and social skills. It usually becomes apparent within first three years of life but some mild cases get diagnosed during early schooling. Autism is a disorder of neural development characterised by impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication, and by restricted or repetitive behaviour. But many parents feel that their kids start showing autistic traits suddenly after a period of normal development.

Autism, also known as spectrum disorder (or ASD) is a wide-spectrum disorder and children with autism often vary in the severity and range of signs and symptoms. As well as experiencing varying combinations of symptoms, some people will have mild symptoms while others will have severe ones. Most symptoms gradually begin after the age of six months, become established by age two or three years and tend to continue through adulthood. Autism is distinguished by a characteristic triad of symptoms: impairments in social interaction, impairments in communication and restricted interests and repetitive behaviour. Other aspects, such as atypical eating, are also common but are not essential for diagnosis.

Homeopathy medication:

Homeopathy is one of the most popular alternative systems of medicine. Despite some controversy regarding its mode of action, the anecdotal evidence for Homeopathy is so strong that it is recognised by dozens of National governments as an effective medical modality. There are many patients across the world using homeopathy. Homeopathic medicine is one of the most popular alternative systems used for Autism treatment. Homeopathy is a safe and gentle system of healing, which tries to identify the root cause of any problem by taking a detail case history, which includes the current complaints of the patient, his/her past medical history, family history, nature and disposition of the patient and many other finer factors.

Homeopathy is practised in two forms — classical and complex. In classical homeopathy, the homeopathic doctor takes a detail case history, tries to identify the root or exciting cause of an illness, and prescribed a single homeopathic remedy at a time to the patient. In complex homeopathy, many medicines for a given condition are mixed in a bottle and given at a time. Classical Homeopathy is the pure form of homeopathy and offers deep and lasting cures.

When you consult a classical homeopath, he will note the full case history of your child. This will include your child’s current medical complaints, their onset, modalities, past medical history, mother’s history during pregnancy, family history, exploration of any stress points or causes for current illness, and a detailed assessment of your child’s mental and emotional makeup. After this exhaustive case history and analysis, the homeopath identifies a homeopathic medicine that covers your child’s symptoms and conditions the best. Such a remedy, when well selected, can bring significant changes in many difficult and inveterate cases.
