Yoga & Naturopathy for Autism
Autism is a condition born out of man's disharmony with nature. Disharmony of the mind leads to stress, tension, anger and a host of negative emotions. This disharmony of a person also leads to physical diseases. Since, Autism is a condition caused by chemical toxicity, solutions must logically be found in medical systems which are interwined with Nature. Autism is a term used for a number of developmental disabilities called autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Autism spectrum disorders vary in severity and impact, from individual to individual and emerge in the first 3 years of a child's life. It can affect the child's ability to communicate, understand languages and social relationships. Autistic child acts in unusual ways, they might flap their hands, have impairment of communication such as mute, repeat certain words over and over, have temper tantrums, problems with sleeping, feeding and irrational fear, colour phobia, objects and noise, etc. The main fature is that they like to stick on to a particular schedule and any changes will lead to irritation. Causes of Autism The brain contains nerve cells called neurons; each neuron may have hundreds or thousands of connections that carry messages to other nerve cells in the brain and body. The connections and the chemical messages they send (called neuro transmitters) let the neurons help to see, feel, move, remember and work together as they should do. For some reason, some of the cells and connections in the brain of a child with autism, especially those that affect communication, emotions, and senses, don't develop properly or get damaged. Digestion problems like, constipation, pain in abdomen and at times ulcers may also occur, which the child cannot express himself. There is no cure for autism, but doctors, special teachers can help kids with autism to overcome or adjust with difficulties like improving digestion, the speech, reduce the temper, improve communications skills, etc. Few Students with mild autism can go to regular school. They also need teachers trained to understand the problems they have with communicating and learning. |
