FAQ'S
I have heard that anti-seizure medicines can be helpful in treating behaviour Issues in autism, is this true?
Yes, anti seizures drugs are used in some cases if the child has co-occurring seizures disorder or if the behaviour is neurologically linked. Although these medications are designed to treat seizure activity, physicians will often prescribe them for children who suffer from both a seizure disorder as well as behavioral disorders. These medications have numerous side effects, some of which are severe, like problems with liver function as well as with production of blood in the bone marrow.
how long does it take to see improvement in sensory processing ?
While SPD doesn’t fully go away, many children learn coping strategies and self regulation through therapy and support. It will take around 3-6 months for mild cases and a few years for severe cases.
Why does my child keeps looking from the corner of the eyes?
Corner vision reasons can be
â—¦ Sensory seeking behaviour, the child may find peripheral vision as soothing and comforting and gives a unique sensory experience.
â—¦ It can be a repetitive visual behaviour
â—¦ Children with atypical visual processing may focus on peripheral details rather than the central ones as this will feel more natural to them.
â—¦ Avoid making eye contact
Why is my child avoiding eye contact and doesn’t respond or name?
It can be a sign of sensory processing challenges, might feel overwhelming or uncomfortable to the child. Some children struggle with social cues and may not understand the expectation to respond to their name. The child is highly focused on something else, and do not notice while you are calling them.
