If you or someone you know is living with Autism, chances are you are well aware of the controversy regarding treatment options and methods. If you are looking into the more natural opportunities for autism treatment in Orange County, finding a skilled professional that can help guide you on the right path to a more holistic treatment option.
The use of alternative or complementary medicine is not something new to the treatment scene. This natural approach is being used by individuals and families of those who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. More than half of those that are diagnosed in the United States are using this complementary therapy and reporting that there are significant benefits to this natural approach. Below are a few of the options that may be suggested for the treatment of autism:
Melatonin plays a vital role in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders; many children that are diagnosed with autism also are diagnosed with some type of sleep disorder with insomnia at the top of the list. This is a naturally occurring hormone that works by regulating the sleep-wake cycles; if an individual takes a melatonin supplement, it will help regulate sleep patterns for those living with autism.
Many parents who decide on taking the path of alternative treatment options also notice improvements with behavioral challenges when their child’s diet is free of gluten and casein. Casein can be found in items such as milk, butter, cheese, and other dairy products, while gluten is mainly found in rye, wheat, and barley products. Any changes you plan to make in a child’s diet should always be discussed with the physician before doing so. Working with a naturopath can help you formulate the best option for gluten and casein-free diets for your child that is both safe and effective.
Discussing other supplements with your naturopath is a good idea; many studies have proven that children who are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder will have deficiencies with specific nutrients. Daily vitamins are always recommended for everyone but more so for those that are diagnosed with autism, often the individuals do not always have a diet that is nutritious and well-balanced. In addition to a daily vitamin, it is recommended to speak with your naturopath about supplements that can help reduce stress and anxiety for your child as well as any other health concerns you may be having about their well-being.
