AUTISM/ADHD/OCD

When a child is diagnosed with Autism/ADHD/OCD, parents often have a flurry of questions. Why does my child have this? What kind of therapy can help my child? Should I medicate my child? Should I try a non-drug option first? What are the risks and benefits of Autism/ADHD/OCD medication?

 

The good news is that homeopathic treatment has worked for the vast majority of those I’ve seen over the last 20 years. The children that come to me present with a wide variety of issues ranging from difficulty in communication, social difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and learning difficulties.

 

Many have specific concerns like OCD, hyperactivity, sleep issues, aggressive behaviour, fears, constipation and other digestive issues.

How can you know if your child is dealing with Autism/ADHD/OCD

Look for the following symptoms

  • Sensitivity to sound, light, or other sensory inputs
  • Not responding to their name
  • Obsessive behaviour and interests
  • Impulsive behaviour
  • Overly fearful behaviour
  • Short attention span
  • Rocking back and forth or spinning in circles
  • Playing with toys the exact same way each time
  • Not speaking, or having delayed speech
  • Answering questions with confusing, unrelated answers
  • Avoiding eye contact
  • Easily upset over minor issues
  • Prolonged periods of isolation
  • Poor social skills
  • Unusual phobias
  • Unusual eating or sleeping habits
  • Hyperactivity
  • Self-harm
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty with physical contact
  • Difficulty understanding the feelings of others

These symptoms generally appear within the first three years of a child’s life and are more common in boys than girls.

What Causes Autism?

The true cause of autism is not yet fully understood. However, there are a number of risk factors associated with autism. These include:

  • Age of mother – the older the mother, the higher the risk of autism
  • Diabetes or obesity in mother
  • Drug or alcohol use during pregnancy
  • Use of anti-seizure drugs during pregnancy
  • Rubella in mother
  • Genetics – autism tends to run in families
  • Metal Toxicity
  • Mitochondrial Dysfunction
  • Immune system Abnormalities

I would also like to emphasize that this is not a “quick fix” and this is an ongoing process. Children who undergo long term homeopathic treatment generally experience high levels of success and that is my ultimate goal in treating your child.

 

Achievements frequently include:  

  • Enhancement in receptive, expressive and spontaneous language development  
  • Increase in vocabulary, language complexity and appropriate use of language  
  • Increased social awareness, interaction and appropriate play  Cognition, understanding and learning  
  • Eye contact and responsiveness  
  • Improvements in focus, attention and impulsivity  
  • Normalized behaviors and interaction including self-stimulating, self-injurious, tics and aggression  
  • Understanding and feeling emotions, affection or increased tolerance to touch  
  • Improvements in sleep, skin, digestive and immune health

Treatment is successful for the majority of children diagnosed with a developmental disorder. I look forward to working with you to help in your child’s recovery.
