Our New Initiative - Integrative Therapy center for Autism

Let's personalise the treatment protocol for your child. We would like to walk the path with you to help your child develop and become independent Autism being a multifaceted disorder, the interventions should be well monitored, dynamic and not just monotonous. Its important that the parent- child coordination is enhanced as days progress with the confidence and affirmation that the child will progress to become an independent adultSince no single intervention has proved effective in alleviating ASD’s core symptoms, parents of children with ASD should use Complementary approaches or Mind-body therapies which includes Ayurveda, Yoga, Acupressure and Shiatsu.

Autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior.

Parents often notice signs during the first three years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some autistic children experience worsening in their communication and social skills after reaching developmental milestones at a normal place. Prevalence is estimated at 0.11% in rural India and 0.09% in Urban India as per the research article published in Neurology India, in 2019. This estimate represents an average figure, and reported prevalence varies substantially across studies. Autism is correlated with sahaja vyadhi in Ayurveda.

Signs and Symptoms noticed in Autism (ASD)

• Lack of Eye contact
• Doing something over and over, like repeating words or phrases
• High sensitivity to sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem ordinary to other people
• Not looking at or listening to other people
• Not looking at things when another person points at them
Problems in understanding or using speech, facial expressions, etc.

Causes of Autism

• Autism runs in families, so certain combinations of genes may increase a child’s risk.
• A child with an older parent has a higher risk of autism.
• Pregnant ladies who are exposed to certain drugs or chemicals, like alcohol or anti- seizure medications are more likely to have autistic children.
• Other risk factors include maternal metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

Systematic monitoring of ASD in children helps in setting up of various methodologies and tweaking them during every consultation. VHG’s treatment approach brings together the concepts from ancient sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga.
