Case report: [Behsavioral/medical/developmental feature] in a child with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors.It develops due to unknown causative agents.It has an immense impact on parents and society.The management of ASD often requires a multidisciplinary approach, and reports on complementary therapeutic interventions add to the understanding of individualized care.We present the case of a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who exhibited poor social interaction, delayed speech, hyperactivity, and repetitive behaviors.A detailed case history was taken and analyzed using repertorization.Based on the totality of symptoms, the constitutional remedy Carcinosin 1M was prescribed.The remedy was repeated at intervals whenever clinically indicated.Over the course of follow-up, the patient demonstrated gradual improvement in social engagement, attention span, behavioral regulation, and speech initiation.This case highlights the potential role of individualized homeopathic treatment as an adjunctive approach in the holistic management of autism spectrum disorder.Further systematic studies are warranted to evaluate the reproducibility and long-term efficacy of such interventions.Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of homoeopathic management in managing ASD.
