A Doctor’s Guide to Early Signs of Autism, ADHD & Learning Issues in Indian Kids

Apna bachpan yaad hai? Hamare parents ne kai baar bola hoga — “Bachpan mein sabhi aise hote hain, theek ho jaayega.” And honestly, unki baat mein pyaar toh tha, lekin aaj ke zamane mein sirf pyaar kaafi nahi hai — clarity bhi zaroori hai.

This question, “Is it just a phase?”, is one of the most common and important doubts I hear from parents. And if you’ve been wondering the same about your child, aap akelay nahi ho.

Let’s break it down together — one step at a time. Scientifically. Compassionately. No jargon. Just a real conversation that might bring you clarity and peace

Sabhi bachhe alag hote hain — True or just comfort talk?

Yes — it’s true that every child develops at their own pace. Some walk at 10 months, some at 15. Some speak by 1.5 years, others by 2. But there’s a range of normal. Science calls these developmental milestones — important markers to help us catch when a child might need extra support.

For example, if your child is:

    • Not making eye contact
    • Doesn’t respond to name by 12 months
    • Is not pointing or waving by 15 months
    • Hasn’t spoken meaningful words by 18–24 months
    • Repeats phrases but doesn’t use them to communicate
    • Can’t sit still for even a few minutes
    • Lines up toys, flaps hands, or avoids interaction

Yeh sirf “alag” hona nahi hai — yeh developmental red flags ho sakte hain. Not labels, not judgments — just signals. Aur jitni jaldi hum in par kaam karein, utna accha outcome hota hai.

It’s Not Just Behavior — It’s Brain Wiring

Neurodevelopmental disorders — like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Learning Disabilities (LD) — parenting se nahi hote. Inka base hota hai brain wiring, genetics, sometimes early birth-related complications or environmental influences.

Indian parents often hear or think:

  • “Ladka hai, isliye late bol raha hai.”
  • “Ghar mein sab late bolte hain.”
  • “Shayad TV zyada dekh liya.”
  • “Main working mom hoon, meri wajah se toh nahi?”

Please remember: Blame doesn’t help. Awareness does. Yeh kisi ka fault nahi hai — but knowing early helps us give the child the right tools to thrive.

Why Waiting Can Hurt

Kai baar relatives ya even doctors bolte hain, “Waqt ke saath theek ho jaata hai.”

But science tells us something else. The brain is most adaptable — neuroplastic — in the first 5–6 years of life. After that, it’s like clay that begins to harden.

Studies show that children who receive support before the age of 3 show significantly better long-term outcomes in language, attention, behavior, and social development.

But what if I’m overthinking?

That’s a genuine fear many parents share — “Kahi main overreact toh nahi kar rahi?”

Think of it this way — agar aapke bacche ko blurred vision ho, aap uska eyesight test karwaate ho na? Evaluation means clarity. If everything’s fine, you get peace. If there’s a concern, you get time to act.

How Can Homeopathy Help — Scientifically?

Once we know what we’re dealing with, the next step is support.

This is where integrative care, including homeopathy, comes in. Now, I want to be very clear — homeopathy is not a replacement for therapies like speech, occupational therapy, or special education. But what it does offer is internal support to the child’s nervous system.

Homeopathic medicines are selected based on the child’s complete symptom picture — not just the diagnosis, but the child’s unique personality, fears, sleep, digestion, and emotional responses.

Emerging research shows that:

  • Homeopathy can help regulate sensory processing, especially in hypersensitive children.
  • It may help in improving sleep, anxiety, attention span, and emotional control — all crucial for learning.
  • Children receiving homeopathic care alongside therapies often show faster emotional settling and better engagement in sessions.

The goal is not to “cure” the child — the goal is to support their nervous system, reduce stress responses, improve adaptability, and gently assist development from the inside out.

Most importantly, homeopathy is safe, gentle, and non-toxic, making it ideal for growing brains and bodies.

What You Can Do Today

Start observing and noting patterns in your child over a few weeks.

Consult a developmental expert, not just a general pediatrician.

Don’t delay screening — tools like M-CHAT or Conners Scale are simple and available in many clinics.

Consider integrative support, including homeopathy, alongside therapy.

Trust yourself. You know your child best.

From Confusion to Clarity

I’ve seen non-verbal 3-year-olds become confident communicators.

I’ve seen children once lost in their own world slowly but surely begin to respond, connect, and even shine.

Kya yeh overnight hua? Nahi. Yeh hua because parents didn’t ignore their doubts — they acted on them.

So if you’re asking yourself, “Is this just a phase?” — it’s time to trust that instinct. Because early action is not fear — it’s faith in your child’s potential.

Let’s make decisions not out of panic, but out of informed compassion.

Headache In Children: Things You Didn’t Know

“ Head pain in children“???  Yes, you heard it right, many of us can’t imagine that children can get headaches too. Many parents don’t realize that their children are suffering from chronic headaches as children who are younger than 6 may not be able to describe the symptoms they are experiencing.

What is the treatment for childhood headaches?

The conventional medicines for headaches include medicines to control the pain and nausea and vomiting, which are effective to control the acute attack of pain and other symptoms but fail to control the recurrence of the attack. Sometimes the use of beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, sodium valproate, and antidepressant to control the frequency of attacks.

Don’t Hold Back Your Sleep Disorder

In today’s world of fast pace, looking after a family, job, relationship,  distraction of social media and other responsibility, what I have observed we easily compromise our sleep to balance another part. We don’t need research to tell us that sleep is critical for brain function, but there’s plenty of it out there. We’ve all experienced groggy feeling, poor decision making and memory loss after a night of little or no sleep. 

What happens when a person doesn’t get enough sleep?

Studies have shown a clear relationship between sleep, food consumption, weight regulation, and metabolism.

people, who habitually sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to have a higher-than-average body mas index (BMI)? Researchers believe that this is because our bodies secrete hormones while we sleep that control appetite, metabolism, and glucose processing. Lack of sleep can wreak serious havoc on your insulin levels, put you at higher risk for diabetes, anxiety, and depression and worsen your PCOS symptoms, especially if you sleep less than five hours per night.

 

What causes sleep disorders?

 

  • Lifestyle choices:- Sleep is often the first thing to be sacrificed when we are overcommitted.

 

  • Disease and/or medical conditions: Many diseases and conditions make it difficult to sleep, either because you cannot get comfortable and relax or because they literally wake you, as in the case of sleep apnea. Often these diseases are caused, in part by sleep deprivation. Diseases such as coronary disease allergies cough, asthma, some chronic pain, depression, women by sleep deprivation, creating an unhealthy cycle.

 

  • Sleep apnea: If you snore loudly and wake with a dry mouth, headaches, or shortness of breath, and if your partner observes that you stop breathing during sleep, you should be tested for sleep apnea, Sleep apnea will worsen your insulin resistance and glucose processing.

 

  • Medication: Sleep disruption is a common side effect of many popular medications. 

 

  • Melatonin imbalance: Melatonin is a powerful hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm, the cycle of waking, and Sleep Disruption in its levels often results in sleep deprivation or unhealthy sleep patterns.

 

  • Cortisol imbalance: Your cortisol levels should naturally rise and fall. Ideally, they peak around 8 a.m. and drop off between midnight and 4 a.m. If you wake between 1 and 3 a.m. it may be because of low adrenal function and cortisol or inadequate glycogen reserves in the liver.

 

  • Strive to sleep seven to eight hours per night. Six hours seems to be the minimum amount of sleep the average person needs per night to function and be healthy. More than eight and a half to nine hours can also create metabolic issues. Here are some tips for getting a good night’s sleep

 

Measures to take for proper sleep 

 

  • Eat the right foods. Choose foods that promote sleep (potassium-rich fruit, dark leafy greens, turkey, whole grains), and avoid sleep-interfering foods (anything high in fat or sugar even natural sugars like berries). If blood sugar drops below 50 mg/dL at night, it can increase levels of adrenaline, glucagon, cortisol, and growth hormone, all of which can stimulate the brain. Eating a big meal before sleep is not a good idea either. Your body will be too busy digesting to focus on the restorative aspects of sleep, like detoxifying, regenerating cells, and reviving. If you must eat before bed, the best snacks contain both carbohydrates and protein. Legumes, nuts, and seeds are all good choices.
  • Support your adrenal glands. Although cortisol helps your body to adjust to perceived emergencies, chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, a cortisol imbalance, and sleeplessness. Take steps to manage your stress during the day. Experiment with relaxation techniques, yoga, and daily movement.
  • Supplement with magnesium. Magnesium is the “relaxation mineral.” Leafy green veggies, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds, black beans, and almonds are all good sources of magnesium. You can also choose a high-quality supplement or take an Epsom-salt bath. Adequate magnesium doesn’t guarantee a good night’s sleep, but lack of magnesium will literally keep you up at night.
  • Boost your melatonin. Melatonin must have darkness to trigger activation (even if it is supplemented). Turn off lights and pull light-blocking shades. Turn off electronics at least an hour before bedtime.
  • Practice a sleep ritual. A sleep ritual is a crucial element for ensuring a good night’s sleep. Relax your body and mind for 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime to signal your body that it is time to sleep. It gives your mind time to settle so it isn’t racing and making “to-do lists” and helps your muscles to let go of the stress of the day. Try to go to bed at the same time each night. Turn off electronics at least an hour before bed, and practice letting the stresses of the day melt away. Repeat the same steps every night before bed, and your body will begin to go to sleep.
  • Cut back (or cut out) caffeine, stimulants, and sugar, especially after lunch. Don’t consume caffeine four to six hours before bed. This includes dark chocolate!
  • Avoid alcohol. Don’t drink alcohol for several hours before sleep. If you have a glass of wine to help you sleep, it will initially act as a sedative, but it disrupts REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, and you’ll wake up in the middle of the night when the alcohol is being metabolized.

 

  • Seek treatment if you have an underlying medical condition. A health-care professional can help you resolve sleep apnea, depression, or anxiety.



Conclusion:- sleep disorder is not deadly, but not taken due care it may lead to chronic diseases in long run with decreased productivity. In homeopathy, we take into detail understanding of root cause in case understanding and try to resolve it from within its source in order to avoid any further complication in the most sustainable and non-addictive medicine.
