Image
Boys are more naughty and need more pampered by parents. They take more time to learn and adjust. Boys start speaking very late. These are the common statements we heard from my Relatives, neighbours and even his Doctor. Me and my husband also got carried away with the same opinion and didn't pay much attention to my child's speech delay and unnatural behaviour. By the time we identified there is a problem it was late and the question is did we miss the Early intervention period for Autism Spectrum Disorder. I'm Durga, love to be called as an Autism Mom which makes me stronger all the time as I'm left with no other option. My son is diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the age of 4.  Autism , or  autism  spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control,  autism  affects an est...

When we find a lead role in a movie with all leading qualities and without whom the Movie cannot sustain we give the Hero title to the actor so why not the title to given to a Mom who makes everything perfect for her child at right time. Well i feel Hero is a person who makes it a better place to live for people so for a child always the Hero will be his Mom until he gets fascinated by the fictious stories. An Autism Mom a Superhero It becomes quite obvious to understand the day to day needs of your child after all you be physically and emotionally attached with your child to know his needs and wants everytime but it's not easy to find the needs of an Autistic child as it is unpredictable and based upon the moods of the child.

When he is in a bad mood I don't know what disturbs him so bad within himself that he starts crying...

Autism is a disorder which does not allow the person's brain to work in a normal way. Point to be noted that the brain works but in a different way. Autism spectrum disorder is not a disability it is a different ability. The kids diagnosed with ASD can do wonders if taken good care of their diet and norture well.  My son is also diagnosed with ASD so I thought that now let's take this as a challenge and give him the best diet which can help. We all would have learnt about the gluten free and Casein free diet is recommended for kids but However it works well outside India but here it is very difficult to completely put them in Gluten free diet as this may miss their nutrition intake. Let's see simple ways to avoid most of the Gluten in our daily life.  Avoid Wheat Gluten is the protein mostly found in wheat so we avoid giving wheat included food like Chapatis and puris instead make a habit of South Indian food like Dosa, Idli. It's difficult for a North Indian family b...
