Understanding Autism

Autism refers to a neurodevelopmental condition in which an individual finds it difficult to behave, communicate, and interact according to social norms. The symptoms of this condition vary in severity, and that is why it is also known as an autism spectrum disorder. It is usually observed in early childhood, eventually leading to problems in social settings such as school or the workplace.

SGVP Holistic Hospital is renowned for providing the best autism treatment in Ahmedabad. With a team of expert doctors, the hospital offers personalized treatment plans to support individuals struggling with autism.

Causes and Risk Factors of Autism

The exact cause of autism is unclear, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Genetic factors, such as genetic mutations or a family history of autism, are among the most common causes of autism in children.
Environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins or infections, complications during pregnancy, and premature birth, are also considered possible causes of autism.

Signs and Symptoms of Autism

The following comprise signs and symptoms shown by people who have autism spectrum disorder:

Troubles in Communication and Interaction

Not responding to one’s name
Preferring to play alone
Lacking facial expressions
Inability to start or keep a conversation alive
Abnormal tone and rhythm while speaking
Fidgeting and repetition of words or phrases
Difficulty picking up non-verbal cues when talking to other people

Troubles in Behavior

Repetitive and fidgety movements, such as hand flapping or spinning
Engaging in self-harming activities, such as head-banging
Unusual movement patterns, such as walking on toes or being clumsy
Abnormal intensity of focus on fixed objects
Extremely rigid food preferences
Sensory sensitivity, leading to either overreaction or underreaction to sound, touch, and light

Diagnosis of Autism

As autism affects children in early childhood, developmental tests and behavioral assessments are widely used for diagnosis.
Developmental tests, such as the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT), evaluate the behavioral patterns of children between 16 and 30 months old.
Behavioral assessment tests include the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), which evaluates social skills and repetitive behaviors in children.
Early signs of autism can also be noticed by parents or guardians before a child reaches one year of age.

Treatment Options for Autism

There is no cure for autism. Early detection and behavioral therapy are the strongest contenders when it comes to treating autism.

Behavioral therapy is used to reinforce positive behaviors and reduce challenging behaviors. It also helps improve cognitive, social, and language skills in young children by helping them develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.
Speech and language therapy, which focuses on comprehension and speech clarity, also helps children enhance verbal and non-verbal communication.
To help individuals with day-to-day self-care tasks, such as eating and writing, and to enhance motor skills, occupational therapy is used.
While there is no medication that directly treats autism, some medicines help manage its symptoms. Therefore, doctors sometimes prescribe antipsychotics, stimulants, or anti-anxiety medication.

As one of the top hospitals for autism treatment in Ahmedabad, SGVP Holistic Hospital ensures comprehensive evaluations and tailored therapies, delivering the best possible care for patients.

Prevention of Autism

Autism does not have a set of clear-cut preventive steps, but the following measures can be taken to manage its risk:

Ensuring optimal prenatal care to avoid exposure to infections or toxins.
Early screening and detection of developmental delays to help manage the disorder.
Genetic counseling for families with a history of autism to assess risks and complications.
