Autism kids will be not having adequate eye to eye contact with the people. They may not respond when their name is called. They have difficulty in pointing an object they need by their index finger. They will be playing to self without interacting with peers. They are immersed in their own world and sometimes laughing to self and making sounds. They may do repetitive acts like moving in particular pattern or rigid behaviour or specific interest with particular objects or sensory issues
Majority of Autism children will be having hyperactivity and in this regard high sugar foods will further increase hyperactivity and in this regard decreasing sugar foods are important. There is a hypothesis that some kids with ASD will be having very less layer of healthy gut bacteria. This can make them vulnerable to have more permeable gut. The casein and gluten diet can provoke opioid like peptides which can act on the brain and cause ASD symptoms. In this regard it was hypothesized that gluten and casein free diet(GCF) or probiotics can be helpful. However the benefit of this diet regarding behavioral symptoms was reported in only minority of children of ASD and it has not to be the blanket of treatment for all of the children with ASD. If any one wants to start GCF diet it has to be planned by dietitian and has to continue for 3 to 6 months to check for the effect of GCF diet, otherwise there are chances of nutritional deficiencies in children. Food rich in omega fatty acids are also helpful.
Autism children can improve with early interventions. Parents have to get trained for giving interventions for children with autism. These children will benefit from both occupational therapy and speech therapy. Getting therapy from qualified therapist is very important. Occupational therapist will be having qualification of B.O.T and speech therapy persons will be having BASLP
Parents can do interventions particularly focussing on speech stimulations. Interventions for eye contact, improving the attention span, sitting tolerance, pointing and joint attention activities, interventions for imitation and interactive play have to be done by parents or caregivers for improving the kids with autism
Exposing a developing child to any screen for significant time will cut off the stimulation that is required for developing brain. Guidelines quote not to give any screen for children below the age of 18 months. For children who have autism symptoms zero screen is mandatory.
