| contents | <p>Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in social interaction, communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Conventional management primarily involves behavioral interventions, speech therapy, and pharmacological treatment for associated symptoms. However, integrative approaches incorporating traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, nutritional modifications, and mind–body therapies are increasingly being explored. This case study presents the journey of a 4-year-old male diagnosed with ASD, managed through an integrative regimen combining conventional therapies, Ayurvedic interventions, and dietary support. Over 6-8 months, the patient demonstrated marked improvements in attention span, social interaction, and adaptive behavior, as evaluated through the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and parental reports. The outcome suggests that a personalized integrative approach may offer significant benefits in pediatric autism management.</p> |
