Autistic but not Typical

My son who just turned 6 has been diagnosed as Autistic but he is not typical. Eye contact is good , he relates well with people he is familiar with. However, he is reacting to high pitched sounds and has difficulty speaking(low verbal) though he has been able to learn how to write. He is also a bit obssesssed with counting in the past few days. We had no probs toilet training him.He is on a gluten free dairy free diet. How can i help him?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
They are going to want a lot more information about him. His likes and dislikes. What if anything seems to make him better or worse, perhaps in addition to sounds. Also perhaps history of past medicines, vaccines, homeopathic remedies and his response.

There are also other approaches to this in addition to homeopathy. Even if you are following homeopathy Hahnemann the founder has a principle (24th?) that other factors in the patient's environment need to be looked at and addressed.

I have had cognitive problems following an illness and found a group that specializes in children's problems using a variety of mostly holistic methods. I need to contact them again, and if you are interested send me an email (my email is in my profile) and I'll let you know how you can reach them.

He has had all the vaccinations.HepB, MMR, DaPT. He also has a history of Bronchitis from age one till 5. He was falling sick everyother month and there was heavy anyti-biotic use.Once we took him off dairy he stopped this pattern of constantly falling ill.
What do you mean by likes and dislikes? Food?Games?

Things that give clues to his emotional state

and things that give more specifics about his physical state.

In homeopathy there isn't generally a single remedy for a particular condition, but rather the whole gamut of symptoms and emotions is considered as much as possible.

That you mentioned his sensitivity to sound will turn out to be important most likely, since some remedies deal with this more than others.

If you set off each subject in own paragraph it is much easier to read than if you run it all together.

Food, yes, for example

perhaps types of games if that is distinctive and gives clues about him

Weather (hot, cold, wind, sun, thunder...etc.)

does he like to be with people or alone (presume that diagnosis means he likes to be alone, but that sort of thing is relevant)

sleep patterns

Take a look at some other posts esp ones that appear to be people looking for constitutional remedies.

Thanks.
He does not like being around strangers but does not like being alone either. Enjoys being with school friends and enjoys company of family.Likes playing games like hide and seek , kicking a ball to another person who kicks it back. Eye contact is good and has some social skills

Food- not a fussy eater.Had severe oral motor problems and could not drink independently till a few months ago.
Eats well, is growing well.

Feels cold with change of weather easily. Limbs tend to get cold when its cold.

Emotionally is very affectionate. Not confident in new situations but ok in new places. Not resistant to change , does not stick to routine like Autistics are supposed to be.

Speech - is making some attempt, has probs with pronounciation.But also babbles quite a bit especially when stressed- self-talking. Is able to learn to write and spell.

Hope this helps.

Bumping this up in hopes someone with more depth knowledge of the remedies will reply.

Also, while waiting for replies from the more knowledgeable here, maybe take a look at Gelsemium and Natrum Carbonicum (should come up on left to click on), both of which include some sound sensitivity symptoms and also shyness or fear of public situations, and see if either sounds at all similar to him.

Allergy to dairie products is often the cause to autism,(milk thats boiled, contains a opium related chemical), these children are often calc c, and sulphur(sulphur is a vaxinedamage remedie).
Also do they lack essential fatty acids, in the diet, or having problems with assimilation of it, due to lack of enzymes,.. or a intestial bacterial flora, (use a supplement, As Udos super 8),thats incomplete, or disturbed by antibiotica, or other medicaments.
Essential fatty acids is vit E,D.
They may also be lycopodiums.
You may get a great bettering in the disease by removing dairie, and giving vitamin supplements, Esp UDOS oil seem to be favourable.
Results show usually after a couple of months, it depends on development.
Diet change dont cure, but keep the problem checked, and gets it better.
