Autism Spectrum Disorder

A head injury is any sort of injury to your brain, skull, or scalp. This can range from a mild bump or bruise to a traumatic brain injury. Common head injuries include concussions, skull fractures, and scalp wounds. The consequences and treatments vary greatly, depending on what caused your head injury and how severe it is.

unique skill set in managing Headache & Migraine

There is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, and there’s currently no one-stop medication to treat it. However, some medicines can help with related symptoms like depression, seizures, insomnia, and trouble focusing. This medication is most effective when it’s combined with behavioral therapies. The goal is to reduce symptoms and improve overall learning and development.

Signs & Symptoms

People with ASD have difficulty with social communication and interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. The list below gives some examples of the types of behaviors that are seen in people diagnosed with ASD. Not all people with ASD will show all behaviors, but most will show several.

Social communication / interaction behaviors may include:

Making little or inconsistent eye contact
Tending not to look at or listen to people
Rarely sharing enjoyment of objects or activities by pointing or showing things to others
Failing to, or being slow to, respond to someone calling their name or to other verbal attempts to gain attention
Having difficulties with the back and forth of conversation
Often talking at length about a favorite subject without noticing that others are not interested or without giving others a chance to respond
Having facial expressions, movements, and gestures that do not match what is being said
Having an unusual tone of voice that may sound sing-song or flat and robot-like
Having trouble understanding another person’s point of view or being unable to predict or understand other people’s actions

Restrictive / repetitive behaviors may include:

Repeating certain behaviors or having unusual behaviors. For example, repeating words or phrases, a behavior called echolalia
Having a lasting intense interest in certain topics, such as numbers, details, or facts
Getting upset by slight changes in their routine
Being more or less sensitive than other people to sensory input, such as light, noise, clothing, or temperature

People with ASD may also experience sleep problems and irritability. Although people with ASD experience many challenges, they may also have many strengths, including:

Integrative therapy can be beneficial for individuals with ASD. This type of therapy combines different approaches to address the physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of the individual. It can include interventions such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, and alternative therapies like art therapy or music therapy. Integrative therapy can help individuals with ASD improve their communication, social skills, and sensory processing, and it can also help reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being. By combining different therapies, integrative therapy provides a holistic approach that addresses the individual’s unique needs and challenges.

Diagnosis

While the diagnosis is clinical, we also need to use brain imaging, electrophysiology & blood tests to rule out reversible causes or contributing factors as well as a thorough pre-rehabilitation assessment including evaluation for co-morbidities (associated conditions). At Buddhi Clinic our assessment includes standard outcome indicators for activities of daily life, quality of life, neuro-disability and mental health.

In this book, we explore the autism spectrum through case studies, in particular the utility of integrated care that combines modern medicine with ancient wisdom.

Our journey has enabled great learnings, both about the utility and about the pitfalls of such “integrated therapy”. Join us in this exploration of “holistic caregiving for the person in the autism spectrum”. We believe we have successfully touched new, hitherto unexplored vistas.
