FAQ

1. How many hours of behavioral therapy (ABA) should my child attend?

Experts recommend 8 hours of therapy per day. This does not involve learning only in the therapy room, but also intervention in kindergarten, in the park, at the store (in all environments where it’s needed).

2. How long should my child attend therapy?

This depends on each child’s potential. Therapy takes years and ends when the child can learn from the environment at the same pace as his peers and can maintain appropriate behaviors.

3. Why does my child not progress after the first 2-3 sessions?

At first the child gets familiar with the rules of therapy and there is an adaptation period when each child reacts differently: some may cry, others hit, some don’t want to get away from the arms of their parents etc.
Also, each child progresses at a different pace.

4. How long does the homeopathic medication treatment take?

The treatment can take up to many years and it varies from case to case. It depends on the child’s age and the degree of impairment.

5. Why do we have to continue treatment if my child started to talk and he is seen as child without problems to everyone around him?

Even if a child has begun to speak this does not mean that language will build itself, it needs constant practice through therapy. The final objective is not to talk, but to communicate. The child must acquire the knowledge and social skills of children his age.

6. Why does my child not have the same programs as other children?

Every child is different, with his own abilities and deficits, that’s why the therapeutic intervention is designed individually.

7. Why have I not received the same recommendations as other parents have?

It is normal to have different recommendations because the children are different. The recommendations can be similar, but as there are no 2 identical children, there are no 2 identical recommendations.

8. Are there side effects of homeopathic treatment and if so, after how long can we notice them?

There are no side effects, like toxicity. There are unwanted reactions related to detoxification. Because of the administration of metals in homeopathic dilution to eliminate the heavy metals, or following the administration of the vaccine in homeopathic dilution for detoxification, it is possible that some children might start having diarrhea, loose stools, or a rash. These might happen over a period of several hours or a day. It is also possible that for few hours or days some symptoms of autism to get aggravated or symptoms to recur, symptoms that his family thought he has no longer. This is a sign of a massive detoxification and after this “noisy” drainage, tangible progresses on the quality of relationships with others and the quality of learning can be seen.

9. After the detoxification of vaccines will my child be protected against diseases for which the vaccines have been administered?

The immunity acquired after vaccinations lasts for years. That is why revaccinations (booster sites) are done. No child with autism who had detoxification of the vaccines, had that certain disease later on.

10. I started homeopathic treatment and I see that some of the symptoms intensified. Should I stop the treatment?

Intensification of symptoms may be due to the detoxification of vaccine or detoxification of heavy metals. If detoxification of vaccines caused it, the intensification of symptoms occurs on the second day after the vaccine administration in homeopathic dilution and it has a duration of several hours or days. If heavy metal detoxification caused it, heavy metal detoxification is ceased for two weeks, then resume at a slower pace than originally.

11. Why the emphasis on parental involvement in therapy? It is not enough what specialists do? I would just like to be a parent.

Unlike other types of interventions on child health, in this intervention, consistency is essential (all persons who come into contact with the child should be involved and follow the rules of interaction with him. Only this way the child will progress). That is why parental involvement is mandatory.

12. Why does the child have to go to kindergarten attended if teachers tell me he behaves and he could come unaccompanied?

Just like in any other environment the child needs to be guided step by step and constantly. An educator/teacher works with a class of around 20 children and the time she/he can offer to a child with ASD is very short. It is a fact that the teacher cannot see all inappropriate behaviors and cannot work one-on-one all the time, both because of time and lack of experience.

13. How long will the child go to kindergarten or school accompanied?

Until the moment the child is be able to learn at the same pace with his age peers, to interact appropriately and to maintain appropriate behaviors.

14. At the end of therapy will my child be like a typical child?

After the start of drug treatment and therapy, we can see the severity of the disease. Children easily affected by the disease will progress rapidly, those severely affected will make less progresses. When we start treatment / therapy one cannot say how much a child will recover. After years of hard team work (family, child psychiatrist, psychologists, therapists), symptoms of children with autism can be reduced up to the point the person may seem normal.

15. What happens if I stop the homeopathic medication?

If the medication is suddenly stopped, there will not be side effects as in other treatments. The quality of learning remains a good win and the child is able to study further and acquire new information. The latest acquisitions on socialization and communication are the ones to disappear. Also after stopping the homeopathic medical treatment, the quality of learning decreases, which means that the time between when the child learns something new and the moment he uses spontaneously what he has learned increases.

16. What may be the biggest enemy of the child with autism?

The greatest enemy of children with autism is not necessarily the lack of money or specialists, but may be his own family. It is the parents who do not accept the child’s diagnosis, they deny the reality and “expect” their child to suddenly recover. They loose precious time and when they begin to accept the diagnosis, after a few years, symptoms are more obvious, the child is more severely affected, the gap between the child’s age and level of knowledge is very high, progress is less and parents get depressed which prevents them for a period of time to effectively deal with the child’s situation.

Ask for a second, third opinion and if the diagnosis is confirmed, begin medical treatment and therapy.

There are solutions for autism.

After years of hard teamwork, great progress can be achieved.
