Common Facts about Autism

• Autism, according to today’s experts, is a worldwide problem.
• Affects about 2% of the global population, regardless of natural or social circumstances, race, ethnicity, or social status.
• More common—there are currently more children born with autism than there are with AIDS, cancer, and diabetes combined. Boys are four times more likely than girls to develop it.
• Children with autism are oblivious to others, often reserved. they do not understand the sense of intonation, mimics, or movements in communication; and their behaviour is marked by uniform repetitive behaviors and patterns, as well as extreme resistance to change.
• Individual symptoms similar to those mentioned above are insufficient to diagnose autism; nevertheless, the absence of any of them does not rule out concerns if they occur, and parents should seek medical advice. 

Point to Remember–

• It is important to note that there is no complete resemblance between the various types of autism; the symptoms are often unique.
• They can also change in the same person as they progress through the stages of life. 
• These events may usually be detected between the ages of two and three years old if the parents keep a close eye on their infant. However, some types appear in school-age children in terms of school rules or classroom communication.

About Autism

Autism abnormalities can be mild, making diagnosis difficult, and they can range from mild to severe. Several studies have related some physiological, genetic, and clinical factors to the disorder. In general, however, children and adults with autism do not seem to be any different from other children or adults; there are no apparent differences.

Communication is interrupted, and from there, their socialisation is disrupted. Children exist in their own universe, isolated from what is going on around them, in which they feel good, calm, and unable to leave. They go through depression if their life is broken. They are then terrified and perplexed, not just because they have been thrown out of their familiar setting, but also because they have no understanding of the “other” world around them. This occurs often when others overlook the problem, attributing it to “character flaws” or the fact that the child is “being naughty,” for example. All of this makes it difficult to communicate with such children, and others must approach them with caution.

Autistic individuals are unable to comprehend the emotions of others, which contributes to their limited ability to form friendships. They are also oblivious to or unresponsive to dangers because they are cut off from reality. They may have an intolerance to objects that others consider natural, such as touch, colour, and sound, as a result of this detachment.

They are unable to function as part of a team or engage in planning and organisation, but they are capable of performing a variety of tasks more quickly and effectively than others. They usually have issues with sleeping and feeding.

Statistics of Autism 

• According to the first comprehensive estimation of the country’s autism prevalence, in 2020, about 23 out of every 10,000 children in India have autism.
• This average, which is about 0.23 percent, is considerably lower than the 1.47 percent in the United States.
• One in every 34 boys is diagnosed with autism
• one in every 144 girls is diagnosed with autism.
• Boys are substantially more likely than girls to be diagnosed with autism.
• Most children were diagnosed after the age of four, though autism can be accurately diagnosed starting at the age of two.
• A total of 31% of children with ASD have an intellectual disability (IQ 70), 25% have IQ scores in the borderline range (IQ 71–85), and 44% have IQ scores in the average to above-average range (IQ >85). Autism affects people from all walks of life, regardless of their ethnicity or socioeconomic status.
• Minorities are diagnosed later and less often than the general population.
• Early intervention provides the best opportunity to promote healthy growth and provide long-term benefits. Autism may not have a medical diagnosis.

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE OF AUTISM

The Ayurvedic approach to Autism

The autistic condition(autism) has an Ayurvedic (Alternative Therapy) perspective, which implies that the treatment incorporates the balancing act of food, diet, exercise, rest, play, and sleep in treating the central nervous system disorders.

At Elite Ayurveda, the management of children affected by autism is also carried out on three main treatment lines. Autism includes therapy on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. The successful implementation of these interventions would ensure a good result for the child.

The duration of Panchakarma therapy can range from 3 weeks to 5 weeks, depending on the severity, along with the internal drugs for approximately 2-3 years. Repetition of therapies in small classes, either individually or intermittently in combination, can
provide significant benefits and can be long-term support for the autistic child.

Autism: The ayurvedic viewpoint

Ayurveda has viewed ASD as a behavioral abnormality with its roots situated in the defective neuropsychological system and disorder in the digestive and metabolic system Autism, typical or atypical disabilities and other autistic disorders fall into the category of Unmada(according to Ayurveda).
where one or more of the mental abilities go wrong. The whole concept of unmada incorporates various types of inappropriate behavior shown by the person as a result of the distortion of the normal mind, intellect, conscious awareness, memory, desire, manner, and behavior.

In the concept of unmada, we see some of the affected faculties that can be seen in Autism spectrum disorders. That involve impairments of

• Manas – mind-total or partial loss of sensory perception
• Buddhi—intellect—partially affected—could be irregular as shown in savant skill.
• Samjna Jnana – an aware presence – seen to be lost in their own environment, barring one or more
  sensory stimuli.
• Bhakti – ability – inherent willingness to connect with others
• Seela – manners – socially inappropriate outbursts and adherence to strict rigid routines.
• Cheshta – Activities – Motor stereotypes that are improper and compulsive
• Achara – learned skills – poor socialization skills, failure to obey orders, loss of healthy habits, etc.
• Knowledge of acquisition (Jnanotpathi), one of Manas' essential roles, is disrupted in Unmada.
• Jnanotpathi occurs only when Manas is in tune with Atma (soul), Indriya (sense organ), and Indriyartha (objects).

In the etiopathology of Unmada and ASD, the definition of genetic deficiencies (Beeja dushti), antenatal psychological stress, non-congenial dietetics (Virudha ahara) disrupting metabolism (gut-brain axis), defective parental psychological background (parental genetic makeup) and a defective child-rearing mechanism (refrigerated parentage, neglected childhood, monitoring addiction) play a
key role.
Ayurveda claims that, in addition to the diet and activities of the pregnant woman, her mental state plays a significant role in the development of wellbeing and disease – both mentally and physically in
the child.

Preventative considerations before conception:

Consanguineous marriages were prohibited in Ayurveda not only by Charaka and Sushruta but by biologists. Acharya Bhela made clear that consanguineous marriages should be avoided to prevent psychological disorders. Ayurveda gives primary importance to periconceptional practices followed by father and mother, the time of conception, role of parents during coitus, bad aharvihara contributes to mental illness. Preconception counseling should be given.

Preventing during pregnancy:

In the sense of Garbhopghatkarbhavas, Acharya Charaka Majja bhava and atmaj bhava may cause autism as a disorder, it has also been recommended to avoid various defective dietary regimens, otherwise, they may lead to absorption of childbirth and various psychological disorders, e.g. Excessive sleep, over-consumption of alcohol by a pregnant woman can result in low IQ, poor memory, or hyperactivity. In the fourth month of pregnancy, the fetal heart, which is the seat of consciousness, becomes active, thus expressing its desires through the mother, which is called Daurhruda. The wishes and wishes of Daurhrudini, if not honored and satisfied, can lead to autism.

Prevention during delivery:

Mostly during the second stage of labor, Sushruta pointed out that instruction to relieve the pain of women with Assanaprasava can result in psychological abnormality.

Prevention during the neonatal phase of the child:

In this regard, in Ayurveda Neonatology, the ultimate first-line treatment of the neonatal baby is to support respiration called Pranpratyagamana
(resuscitation) the method in the mode of cleaning Mukhasleshma and physical stimuli along with Pranvayu (oxygen) with the aid of the hollow tube of Krishnakapalikasupa in order to avoid the birth of Asphyxia which causes autism.

On the Ayurveda Dhee dhairya atmadi vijnam Manaoushodham param. Therefore, the key remedy is
adequate counseling and the use of particular medhya rasayanas recommended.

Autism Treatment through Ayurveda

There are three main therapeutic streams promoted by Ayurveda in the treatment of Autism
Spectrum Disorders (Unamada). They’re:

• Daiva Vyapasraya (Confidence Building Treatment)-rites and rituals to fend off unknown evil powers (environmental forces like microorganisms) and also to secure the mind and the body.
• Yukti Vyapasraya (rational medical management)-rational prescribing of medications, therapies, diet, and activities to maintain the body balance.
• Satvavajaya (Mind or Self-Management Techniques)-cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual skills and training strategies for the development and maintenance of mental faculties.

Rational treatment of Ayurveda is performed in four sections. They’re:

• Dosha for pacifying therapy (Samsamana)
• Bio cleaning Therapy (Samsodhana or Panchakarma)
• Evitation of causative factors (Nidana Parivarjana)
• Favorable diets and lifestyles (Pathya Aharavihara)

Our Take

Ayurveda focuses on the treatment of the root cause and not the symptom alone. Ayurveda is a guiding light for a healthy lifestyle. It treats the root cause and not the symptom alone. This science proposes about three pillars of the human body, i.e Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. At EliteAyurveda
