Abstract

Autism is a group of psycho-neuro-developmental disease in which children fail to acquire social interaction and other regular motor & verbal milestones. Ayurveda understand the nature of human brain in a completely different manner from modern psychiatrics and physiological theories. Autism has close similarities to the features of the UNMADA which is described in Ayurveda. The condition may be due to khavaigunya [Disarrangements] of srotas [Channels] which nurtures Manas [Mind] as a consequences of many Agantuja [epigenetic and toxic insults and post -natal environmental factors] and Sahaj [Genetic] factors. Among the various type of treatment modalities Yuktivyapashrya chikitsa, Satvavjay chikitsa both are playing a vital role in managing the symptoms of Autism in children.
