Homeopathy Treatment For Autism - ADHD
AUTISM and ADHD Intro:
More than half of all individuals who have been
diagnosed with (Autism spectrum disorder) ASD also have signs of ADHD
(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Both ADHD and ASD are
neuro developmental disorders (brain development has been affected in some way).
That means both conditions affect the central nervous system, which is
responsible for movement, language, memory, and social and focusing skills.
Most importantly, that includes the brain’s executive functioning, which is
responsible for decision making, impulse control, time management, focus, and
organization skills. For many children, social skills are also affected. Both
ADHD and ASD are more common in boys.
ASD (Autism
spectrum disorder) and their Symptoms:
Autism is a
developmental disorder with symptoms that appear within the first three years
of life. Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain
development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others,
causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also
includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior. The word “spectrum”
indicates that each individual with autism experiences their own unique
strengths, symptoms, and challenges.
Individuals with autism may present a
range of symptoms, such as:
- Reduced eye contact
- Differences in body language
- Lack of facial expressions
- Not engaging in imaginative play
- Repeating gestures or sounds
- Closely focused interests
- Indifference to temperature extremes
Here’s a general timeline of what
this might look like:
- From birth: trouble
maintaining eye contact
- By 9 months: not
responding to their name
- By 9 months: not
displaying facial expressions reflective of their emotions (like surprise or
anger)
- By 12 months: not engaging
in basic interactive games, like peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake
- By 12 months: not using
(or only using a few) hand gestures, like hand-waving
- By 15 months: not sharing
their interests with others (by showing someone a favorite toy, for example)
- By 18 months: not pointing
or looking where others point
- By 24 months: not noticing
when others appear sad or hurt
- By 30 months: not engaging
in “pretend play,” like caring for a baby doll or playing with figurines
- By 60 months of age: not playing turn-taking
games, like duck-duck goose
ADHD is one of
the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood. It is usually first
diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. The actions of a person
with ADHD may seem to indicate that he or she isn’t “trying hard enough” to sit
still or concentrate, but in many cases, this person doesn’t have stable
neurophysiologic mechanisms necessary for self-regulating behavior.
Most common symptoms include:
- having
trouble focusing or concentrating on tasks
- being
forgetful about completing tasks
- being
easily distracted
- having
difficulty sitting still
- interrupting
people while they’re talking
- talk
excessively
- find it
hard to wait their turn
- interrupt
others when they’re speaking, playing, or carrying out a task
- make
frequent mistakes or miss details when studying or working
- lose items
frequently
- be easily
distracted by small things happening around them
There are three sub types of
ADHD:
- Predominantly
inattentive. The majority of symptoms fall under
inattention.
- Predominantly
hyperactive/impulsive. The majority of
symptoms are hyperactive and impulsive.
- Combined. This is a
mix of inattentive symptoms and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms.
