Quick answer

Dr. Akshata reviews the diagnosis, symptom timeline, reports, current medicines, daily-life impact and warning signs before planning follow-up.

Parents often come with worry, guilt and too much internet information. I first reassure them that autism is not the parent’s fault and that the child should be understood with patience and structure.

The consultation reviews the diagnosis, reports, current care, symptom pattern and measurable follow-up goals. Referral is coordinated when examination, testing or specialist input is needed.

What Parents Commonly Report

Parents may describe speech delay, poor eye contact, repetitive play, sensory sensitivity, food selectivity, sleep problems, hyperactivity, meltdowns, digestion issues or recurrent infections. Each child is different, so labels are not enough.

Assessment Comes First

A proper developmental assessment helps the family understand strengths, challenges and therapy priorities. Homeopathy should not delay diagnosis or early intervention. Early, consistent support can make family life more organized and less stressful.

The consultation reviews the diagnosis, reports, current care, symptom pattern and measurable follow-up goals. Referral is coordinated when examination, testing or specialist input is needed.

A Common Mistake Families Make

The common mistake is jumping from one promise to another and losing consistency. The child needs regular therapy, predictable routine, parent training and careful follow-up. Any supportive treatment should fit into that plan, not replace it.

What I Ask Parents

Development Speech, eye contact, play, milestones and school feedback.
Sensory pattern Sound, touch, food texture, lights, clothing and routines.
Body pattern Sleep, appetite, digestion, infections and skin issues.
Therapies Current speech, OT, behavioural and paediatric guidance.
"With autism, I never speak in promises. I ask what the child struggles with today and what would make the next month easier for the child and family."
