Asperger's Syndrome Treatment

Natural medication for the Asperger’s syndrome treatment in both children and adults.

Autism – is a disorder arising from violations of the brain and is characterized by abnormalities in social interaction and communication, and restricted, repetitive behavior. Autism is one of five developmental disorders classified under the heading of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). The other four are Asperger’s Syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD), Rett’s Disorder and PDD – not otherwise specified (PDD – NOS).

Asperger syndrome – one of five general developmental disorders, sometimes called a form of highly functional autism (ie autism, which retained the ability to operate on). The most common and important characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome can be divided into several broad categories: social difficulties; narrow but intense interests, the strangeness of speech and language.

What are the causes of Asperger’s Syndrome?

At present it is not known what causes Asperger’s Syndrome, although there appears to be a definite genetic component as it tends to run in families. While there is as yet no clear evidence as to the causes of Asperger’s Syndrome, there may be certain ‘triggers’ which may precipitate the condition. These include environmental factors like pollution, food intolerances (particularly to foods containing wheat, gluten, sugar and dairy products), digestive problems and even childhood vaccinations (particularly the MMRI).

There are also suggestions that Asperger’s Syndrome may sometimes be linked to high levels of Candida in the gut. Clearly much more research is needed in this area. One thing is sure – Asperger’s is NOT caused by bad parenting or problems in the family! It is unfortunate that many parents have been made to feel guilty for a neurological disorder which is not their fault.

Is there a cure for Asperger’s Syndrome?

Asperger’s Syndrome can currently not be cured and the condition is lifelong. However, with correct treatment and therapy, many people with Asperger’s can go on to lead normal lives and may even excel in certain areas of occupational functioning.

However, because Asperger’s is a relatively new diagnosis in the field of developmental psychology and psychiatry, many treatment approaches are still in the developmental stages and lots of work still needs to be done in this area. One thing has definitely been established – the sooner treatment begins, the better! This applies especially to remedial, educational and therapeutic intervention.

While there is no specific treatment or cure for Asperger’s Syndrome, there are many interventions which can significantly improve the functioning and quality of life of people and children with Asperger’s. Herbal and homeopathic remedies can be viable alternatives to the synthetic drugs and may be just as effective, with far fewer risks and side effects.
