"Asperger Syndrome"
The term "Asperger syndrome" is a neurobiological disorder characterized by a developmental disability. This Disorder is also widely recognized by the name of Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD. It is characterized by a range of developmental disabilities. People with this kind of disorder have problems lack of desire to interact with peers, may have socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior, and generally have a repetitive routine. It is also sometimes found that the person affected by ADS has some speech and language peculiarities.
As was discovered in 1944 by Hans Asperger, a Viennese pediatrician. He first described to as a personality disorders referring it as a psychopathy in the childhood. Later in 1980's Autistic psychopathy was recognized as a single disorder Known as Asperger's Syndrome, named after Hans Asperger's syndrome and high functioning autism. Because of people with As sharing the many symptoms of the high functioning autism. As a result, identifying Asperger's syndrome as a single domain remains in question, therefore, pathologists are still struggling to find the exact cause of this syndrome, of all the autism spectrum disorders like pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), phenotype(BAP), etc, Asperger's Syndrome has similar symptoms of Autism. As is marked by poor social interactions, odd speech patterns and peculiar way of carrying oneself with the same routine and have resistance to change. It is also noted that people having this syndrome lack-motor co-ordination. They are usually clumsy, shabbily dressed and fail to understand other's body language and facial expressions. They are also unable to emote their feelings and therefore fail to make many friends, and since the usual onset of Asperger's Syndrome is during childhood, therefore the habits once formed last forever.
The signs and symptoms present in a person's with Asperger's Syndrome can broadly be classified as under
Social Interaction:
Those with Asperger's Syndrome experience failure in establishing a lifelong relationship, this result due to their poor social interaction. They lack showing empathy towards others. They are not kneed to share their experiences with others. They do not involve themselves in situations and are happy if left on their own. They fail to recognize the social norms and accepted behavior. Therefore they are unable to fit in the society. They exhibit strange behavior towards other like giving weird facial expressions, non-smiling face and use of pedantic language. They indulge in one-sided conversations and therefore are not good listeners.
Restricted concern and conduct:
Another common symptom of Asperger's Syndrome patients is their inflexibility regarding their interests and behavior. They follow their own set routine and seldom allow any change. They follow their routine religiously, any change in their routine can make them violent as reported in some cases. They like to keep their things arranged and any slight change makes them throw tantrums or send them into wailings. They form a special interest in any subject and usually excel in it, but they may fail in other subjects if not of their interest. Patients with Asperger's Syndrome have strong rote memorization but lack in abstract comprehension. Additional symptoms in some cases are of repeated motor mannerisms. These mannerism include hand or finger flapping, rocking, spinning, jumping etc.
Oral Communication:
Those with Asperger's Syndrome might not have any delay in language formation but they do encounter problems while using correct words in the correct context. They are quite familiar with wide and new words but lack the sensibility to use them. They interpret the words according to their will. they are unable to note the elusion differences in accent, tone, and pitch. the most peculiar feature of their oral communication is their use of ornamental language. Their sentences are often laden with pedantic words as if quoting from a book. They are unable to sustain other people's interest in their conversation due to lack of correct intonation and their tendency to jump one topic to another like drop of a hat.
Other symptoms:
People with Asperger's Syndrome often related their problems with their sensory experiences i.e. experiences related to the senses of touch, smell, hear and see. Other symptoms identified in some cases are attention difficulties and sleep problems.
Causes of Asperger's Syndrome:
Many researchers believe heredity to be the main cause of this disorder while some suggest mental disorders like depression and bipolar disorder to be associated with Asperger's Syndrome. Some research in Asperger's Syndrome cases has led researchers to associate birth defect with the syndrome. Some are also looking at environmental factors as a possible cause of Asperger's Syndrome.
Although pathologists are still trying to distinguish Asperger's Syndrome from ASD, yet some findings determine a different mechanism of Asperger's Syndrome from ASD. Neuroanatomical studies suggest that the Asperger's Syndrome's mechanism involves some abnormal migration of embryonic cell during the conception of a fetus resulting in the alteration of control thought and behavior in the later stage.
Diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome:
Can be diagnosed by testing child's learning style, speech and language, IQ, social and motor skills and according to characteristic symptoms.
Standard treatment of Asperger's Syndrome:
Speech and language therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, physical and occupational therapy and social skills training will be helpful.
Homeopathic Treatment of Asperger's Syndrome:
Homeopathic is one of the remedies is based on the theory of individualization and symptoms- similarity by using a holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained, by removing all the signs and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat Asperger's Syndrome but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, several well-proved medicines are available for Asperger's Syndrome treatment that can be selected on the basis of cause, sensation, and modalities, for individualized remedy selection and treatment, the patient should consult a qualified homeopath. Some important remedies are shown below for as:
