Natural Cures for Problems with Autism
Autism spectrum disorders is a group of disorders which vary from the relatively less serious Aspergers syndrome through to Classical Autism.
The main characteristics are:-
- problems with communication both verbal and non-verbal
- abnormal social interactions
- unusual, limited or repetitive behaviours and interests
Parents are usually the first to notice that their child is "not normal" The child may not respond to the parents in the usual way by showing a blank face instead of smiling, be obsessively interested in one thing, seem unable to play, develop rocking habits and are not able to behave in an appropriate way.
Diagnosis may be difficult, especially in the milder cases and relies on a multidisciplinary approach and the finding the presence of certain behaviours essentially as detailed above.

There is no cure and treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Antidepressants may be used to control anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive symptoms and antipsychotics where there are severe behavioural problems.
