REMEDIAL BATHING STYLE IN AUTISM

Place all autistic babies under shower for at least 20 minutes. This showering during the bath has a calming effect. Always use normal water for bath. Don’t use hot water for bath on head. The procedure should not be given to the babies with otitis media because the bath will aggravate the ear problems. Otitis is a common finding in autistic babies. Autistic children should be allowed to swim, in the pool or pond in the presence of their primary care takers. Swimming is a good exercise and has always a positive impact on the functioning of praana,vyaana and udaana vaayu. Activities of daily living should be converted to maximum beneficial treatment modalities in every case. For effective implementation of each of these modalities, individual analysis of case is needed with minute observation.
