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.

At Buddhi Clinic we are able to bring together a
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.

We specialise in complete brain and mind care.

At Buddhi, We offer a comprehensive program of blended healing that brings together the best each discipline offers – from Brain Stimulation to Psychological Therapy, Ayurveda to Yoga, Cognitive Stimulation to Naturopathy, Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy Access Buddhi Services through Home Care, In-Hospital & Online models.

Signs & Symptoms

People with ASD have difficulty with social communication and interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors.

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.
