Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Types & Homeopathic Treatment

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. Autism is called a “spectrum” because it varies widely in severity and symptoms among individuals.

Types of Autism (ASD Subtypes)

ASD is classified based on the severity of symptoms and specific challenges:

1️⃣ Autistic Disorder (“Classic Autism”)

  • Severe speech and social difficulties.
  • Repetitive behaviors and resistance to change.
  • Often associated with intellectual disabilities.

2️⃣ Asperger’s Syndrome (Now part of ASD)

  • Mild symptoms, normal intelligence.
  • Difficulty with social interactions and understanding emotions.
  • Strong focus on specific interests (fixations on topics).

3️⃣ Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)

  • Milder symptoms than classic autism.
  • Delayed speech or social difficulties.
  • Some individuals may function independently.

4️⃣ Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD) (Rare)

  • Normal development up to age 3-4, then sudden loss of speech and social skills.
  • Severe intellectual disabilities.
