According to the Ayurvedic
speculations and latest medical research in Ayurveda, Autism is an outcome of
the new lifestyle adopted indiscriminately by the human society. Autism can
thus be understood as a developmental disorder of the children resulting from
genetic changes and accumulated toxins introduced into the body by the changed
lifestyle.
Man is a social animal. The phenomenon
of Socialization includes brain development in certain areas, which in case of
an autistic child, is abnormal or defective. Brain functions are designed under
the influence of various factors, both intrinsic as well as extrinsic, which
relate to the brain development. Autism is not merely a social or psychological
error; rather it is a brain development problem itself. Hence a clinical team
including a pediatrician,neurologist,occupational therapist, physiotherapist,
behavioral therapist and an ayurveda specialist is the prime requisite for
effective management of this condition.
Autism has been affirmed as an incurable
disease by the medical experts. Unfortunately, this declaration has been widely
exploited by the religions and occult scientific methodologies who assure cure
through magical remedies. However, it is a noted fact that no such therapies
can actually cure autism. The most recent Ayurveda researches and clinical
experiences of ayurveda physicians highlight that though complete cure cannot
be assured but ayurveda can offer an appreciable medical support to an autistic
child in various spheres. For its incurable and multi spectrum disposition no
system in isolation is a final word for autism. However, various medical and
para-medical sciences, as mentioned above, can facilitate in it. So, a conjoint
effort can ensure a good outcome and the ayurvedic medical science holds a
reputed involvement in this endaevour. The main interventions of Ayurveda in
autistic child aim in reducing the symptoms like hyperactivity and gut allergy,
to bring about detoxification of body and to enhance immuno-modulation. We aim
to propagate scientific ayurveda packages for achieving this objective.
Since genetics has a definite
contribution in autism and this condition being incurable, we emphasize more on
the preventive aspect of it. The preventive care for autism aims at medical
care for adolescent boys and girls including education about the medical impact
of one’s lifestyle and guiding them to adopt a healthy lifestyle; and
pre-conceptional care especially for couples having an autistic child in the
family. For the past 14 years we have been providing medical care in these
spheres and have experienced a marked improvement especially in aforesaid
spheres of autism management.
So we humbly propose following
packages of Ayurveda for the benefit of humanity.
·
Management of autism along with a
multidisciplinary team.
·
Pre conceptional care of married couple and high
risk couple.
·
Autism awareness programme among adolescents
boys and girls to reduce the incidence of autism in our community.
