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


10. What we can & should do –Eternal 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 management of Autism -1.4 Best methods

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


13. What we can & should do –Eternal management of Autism -1.5 Best methods

Behavioural Modifications – must begin with caregiver/parents – they should learn first from many practices of yoga.
