4.Autism in Modern Science -1


 Exact cause for autism is unknown.

Genetics, environmental, immunological, an
d metabolic factors play a contributory role.
 A neurodevelopmental disorder
characterized by problems with social
interactions, impaired verbal and non-verbal
communication, and a pattern of repetitive
behavior with narrow, restricted interests.

Awareness, attention, Message from brain to organs etc etc
Brain – nervous system . 7% Brain of Einstein

5. Autism in Eternal Wisdom of
Yoga, Ayurveda


 Gross imbalance of vata.
 Prana vata that is the vata seated in the
mind controlling all mental functions such
as speech, concentration, memory, learning
and neurological response.
 Toxins such as Mercury in the body
causing this tridoshic disease.
Excess, less or blockage of prana in the
brain
Lack of awareness

7.What we are doing? Modern
Perspective – 1 cost and issues


10% medical care
30% for care and education
60% for the lost economic productivity of
patients and their family members
Treatments vary with both age, location
, awareness of the solutions available
Results vary from individual to individual

8. What we are doing? Modern
Perspective – 2 cost and issues – Best


Several disciplines behavioral, developmental, academic, and
medications.
The treatment must be customized to each
individual child's requirements.
Must follow the general principle of trying to
achieve the best possible functional ability
using the available resources as needed

9. What we can & should do –Eternal
management of Autism -1.1 Best


 Parents and Caregiver – Accept, Learn, Educate the
autistic child
 Knowledge , education and interaction are assets
 Development and behavioural tools are to minimize the
symptoms but Yoga says Evolution of brain possible
 Applied behaviour Analysis (ABA) - puts 4 hours / day
as condition for individualized learning program – Yoga
demands the same time but we can start …
 Verbal behaviour is revised version of ABA aims
verbalization from the child


Ha – Sun, Shiva –right Brain
Tha- Moon ,Shkati- left brain
Middle Path – Spine – union – Susuma – CNS- Hatha Yoga
Yoga – conscious Evolution and Transformation
Conscious evolution of the brain – 52 groups of practices

management of Autism -1.2 Best
methods

 "Floor time" therapy or DIR (Developmental Individual Difference
Relation-Based intervention) is becoming more widely used today
 Demands Emotional Bonding – learning from Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga
and Tantra Yoga
 This also demands min 4 hours/day until child start responding
 Miller method narrows the gap between – Where a child is and
SHOULD BE. It begins with child’s view of the world and change it –
conscious learning is Yoga
 Self-conscious finding is yoga

11.What we can & should do –Eternal
management of Autism -1.3 Best methods

 TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and
Communication Handicapped Children) approaches
autism with trying to enable success using their own
strengths.

 Yoga as science of brain, mind and consciousness can
create miracles if learnt consciously and applied to autistic
child but demands regular

practice, patience
, Time and effort both from teacher and
parents/caregiver.

12.What we can & should do –Eternal

 Daily Life Therapy focuses on the physical, emotional, and
intellectual ability of the child enabling to successfully interact in
groups and later in society. Yoga Lifestyle with simple, easy
practices may be done daily
 – Daily practices aims at physical, emotional, mental, intellectual
and spiritual development will be accomplished via Yoga
 A movement from individual

to family to society I
what Yoga aims at and what autistic child
NEEDS


 Behavioural Modifications – must begin with caregiver/parents – they
should learn first from many practices of yoga.
 Auditory integration training, vitamin and mineral treatments, and
secretin injections have been anecdotally reported to be helpful, yet
were never proven to make a difference and are not recommended
by the American Academy of Neurology.
