The pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), refers to a group of five disorders characterized by delays in the development of multiple basic functions including socialization and communication. The typical age of onset is before 3 years of age. The symptoms of PDD may include difficulty in social interaction, difficulty in relating to people and events, difficulty in adjusting to the new environment, repetitive body movements or compulsive behavior. Out of the other PDD Autism is the best studied disorder.

The pervasive developmental disorders are:

• Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise mentioned (PDD-NOS)
• Autism
• Asperger syndrome
• Childhood disintegrative disorder
• Retts syndrome

The term PDD refers to the above group of disorders the first three disorders come under the group of Autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The other two are much rare disorders.

What to expect if your child is diagnosed with Pervasive developmental disorder (PDD)?

One of the most important aspects is early intervention with appropriate and customized educational programs and therapy. It plays a critical role to improve the outcome with PDD. PDD doesn't affect the normal expectancy of life and is not fatal.

Role of Homeopathy in Pervasive developmental disorder (PDD)

Homeopathy is a safe, effective and evidence based system of medicine. In Homeopathy the remedies are like living portraits where all the symptoms are expressed related to the mind, body and the intellect. It is an in-depth study of the suffering individual as it is called in Homeopathy "We treat the Man in Disease and Not the Disease in Man."

Homeopathy is the system of medicine which has shown its efficacy in treating Pervasive developmental disorders and various disorders. In treating PDD and specifically the Autism spectrum disorders it has been observed that with the help of Homeopathic medicines, Nutrition, and the therapies the outcome of the treatment program improves tremendously.

Homeopathic medicines are safe and can be easily administered it has been observed that with the right Homeopathic medicines the concentration of the child increases, there is a visible difference in the cognitive skills, eye contact and hyperactivity issues.

Autism Cases treated with Homeopathy by Dr.Santosh Joshi

Introduction

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is growing at an alarming rate every 1 child in 88 is Autistic. It is important to diagnose it at an early stage so it will help in starting the treatment and occupational therapies to achieve substantial improvement in the individual. In this paper I have tried to touch on to the importance of Homeopathic treatment in Autism, I have not included the detailed follow-ups but have summarized it in a paragraph.

Autism in brief

Autism is characterized by failure of the child to develop communicative language or form proper social communication. But they show motor and other skills far beyond that of a mentally retarded child.

Autism is characterized by varying degrees of impairment to develop communicative language or form proper social communication. Some of them are obsessively pre occupied with inanimate objects such as lights, running water or spinning objects, and also by repetitive behaviors. Symptoms range from mild to severe.

Some of the children gradually develop extreme talents such as in mathematics and these are retained mostly throughout the life. Studies of people with autism have found abnormalities in several regions of the brain which suggest that autism results from a disruption of early fetal brain development.

Autism Case

The biggest issue with this young male child aged 7 years is he doesn’t comprehend when things are described to him. If he has read a story and at the end of it if he is asked a question he will go completely blank. He is good in mathematics, reads everything but when there is a subjective question he will go blank.

Another major issue is he is unable to follow directions and unable to focus on the work he is supposed to do. The child also has problems in writing and this skill has not yet developed in him. He cannot properly hold the pencil and write. He also doesn’t get along well with children of his age group, as he will start screaming if things don’t go his way.

Hyperactivity is another major issue, he cannot stand or sit in one place properly even for some time. He cannot sleep easily it takes a long time about one to two hours to make him sleep.

His daily activities are he gets up in the morning at around 7 am does his daily routine and goes to school at 8 am and comes home by 3 pm. After this he will play, do his homework, take shower, eat dinner and go to bed. He also goes to martial arts and piano classes. Besides this he plays video games and watches Television.

His physical development is good and healthy. The child was perfectly alright till 24 months of age. After he received the MMR vaccine shot he developed high grade fever. After a few months of this episode he got a convulsion followed by few more convulsions. All the investigations were normal except the EEG, which showed some epileptic tendency. So the child was put on antiepileptic drugs. Even with these medications the child used to get seizures. After sometime the doctors stopped the medicines but he still the seizures continued.

During convulsions there was rolling of the eyes in the upper left or right corner, he will stop communicating, which is followed by spasms and foaming from the mouth.

The child was a planned pregnancy; mother didn’t have any tensions during pregnancy. The delivery was full term and normal. His birth weight was 7 pounds, Age of walking -14 months, age of talking first word 8 months and sentence formation by 42^nd month. There were no dentitional problems.

The parents were asked what the child does when he is angry they told that he will shout, scream and run around. He also loves to dance especially to fast tracks

Personal history

Craving: Pan cakes, Pizzas, burgers, yogurt

Sleep and dreams: doesn’t want to sleep but when he is forced to sleep he will fall asleep fast and sleeps in supine position and doesn’t wake up from sleep.

Thermals: Likes fan and air conditioner, takes covers but kicks them off. Sun causes redness of the body and increased body heat.

Perspiration: profuse

Thirst: Normal.

Prescription

Date	Symptoms	Homeopathic remedy
26/06/07	Taking into consideration the episode of vaccination and seizures after that the child was prescribed	Thuja 200 1 dose for 3 days.
01/07/07	The parents say although they can’t say for sure there is any improvement. But surely he is doing much better in his martial arts. He is running less and focusing (But still not his age level). Sleep is same.	No medicine given the parents were advised and explained about the action of the medicine.
07/08/07	Small change in behavior although he again didn’t focus in his martial arts, but he read a book on his own. He also had warm milk and went to sleep on his own. He is communicating more but still ignores them if they call him to do something that he doesn’t like to do. Parents feel that he is certainly understanding more and more every day and feel with little help he can do better. He still has to be pushed to do work.	No medicine.
23/8/07	He complies with our direction more 1. He does his homework  on his own (earlier we had to sit with him whole time) -- although still sometime sits and plays with his pencil and will not do his home work but now it requires a less prompting to get him started again. 2. He helps out his mom a little more than he used to -- still a long way where he can help without even asking. But sometime he does comprehend the need (like pick up the phone and hand over, shuts off the monitors if required etc.) Parent requests if we can work on his concentration and the ability of his understanding a little more as his school is opening. He still struggles to sleep on his own. His comprehensive ability is still poor but improving.	No medicine.
02/09/07	Behavior is good and the other time it is rank bad. In the last 7 days, he did ran away once, didn't focus on his martial arts where others were doing exercises and he was just not doing it. Parent says although, I am sure he has improved a little but my expectations were a little more before he goes to school.	Thuja 200 1 dose for 3 days.
02/10/07	After the 3 doses of T-200 a lot more improvements are shown. Although he still has difficulty following all the directions but is more co-operative. His school has started last week and he is doing better in school. His communication has improved and has started asking a lot of questions. I would rate his progress to more than 10% better than what he was when we started the medicine. So, I and my wife both believe the medicine is surely doing something on him. Again, some days are better than other but last whole week (he started school too) was far better than any other week I have seen out of him. Hope he comprehends and understand better soon. He still has lot to improve upon in communication as well as playing with other kids of his age. He needs improvement in following the direction too. He just spins around and doesn't like to sit properly most of the time. It surely is a good sign and we are encouraged.	The patient was put under observation and the medicine was regulated. The treatment went on for 1 year plus and following is the last follow up. We still monitor the case as and when needed.
Last Follow up	He is been doing very well and he received president award in school. He is playing piano very well and has been excellent in his behavior etc. I would like to thank you for all your help for him and would surely try to come meet you some day.	The patient is under observation as and when needed.

                       

Conclusion

Homeopathic treatment can help in achieving very good results if applied in the right way. Co operation from the parents and care givers is also very important. Treatment should be goal orientated.

Autism and Life by Dr.Joshi's Center for Autism

Dr.Joshi's Center for Autism

 

Autism as we all know is a disorder where the person lacks the ability to communicate, suffers from sensory sensitivity and lot of other issues. The autistic child is already having a problem but this can be doubled by certain issues like denial by parents to accept that the normal looking child is having autism.

We see lot of children with autism at Dr.Joshi’s center for autism from various spectrum's and different nationalities but this phenomenon of denial is quite universal. The point of contention is that why this happens?

Few areas which lead to this denial can be:

   ·         Lack of awareness

   ·         Fear how the society will react?

   ·   Denial without reason 

·  Emotional shock

It is very important on the part of the treating doctor, counselor or family to support in these times when a diagnosis is made. It is also very important to give confidence and also explain the realistic measures and therapies that will help the child to improve and become independent.

Life is a continuous process and we all need support so what’s so great if we do a little bit more the children suffering from autism? Isn’t it our responsibility to help our fellow human beings to experience the world like they want to?

It is amazing to see parents work so hard to help the child, friends, family members and society also helps but there is a lot yet to be achieved. Awareness has to be at mass level still there are people even well educated who ask? 

 What is autism? 

 It is not their fault that they don’t know about autism it is the lack of awareness about it. The importance of early intervention in autism with diet, Therapies and Homeopathy goes a long way in improving the overall outlook in children suffering from autism.

With the right homeopathic medicine, diet and therapies we have seen tremendous improvement in areas of cognitive skills, Obsessive compulsive behavior, Comprehension, Improved eye contact and also making the child develop into an independent adult.

Let us do our bit and spread awareness about Autism at the level of schools, Colleges, Malls, Universities, Societies and where ever we can to help in fighting against discrimination towards individuals suffering from Autism.

Let us join hands for a better today and tomorrow.
