Pregnancy, Emotions and Autism!!

As a mother

of an autistic boy, each day has been a struggle for me. More than the physical day-to-day challenges of understanding the needs of my child, it was the emotional trauma of seeing my sweetheart suffer daily that was harder to handle. I was in complete denial. ‘This CANNOT happen to us. The doctors must have misunderstood the signs and symptoms. This temporary phase shall pass and he will cope up like a normal child’, I tried to think positively. But nothing seemed to work for us and his behaviour worsened with each passing day.

Why? Why did this happen to me?…

I had been very cautious of my health throughout the pregnancy, followed each and every medical advice, suffered no health complications during the time and still we were going through this. I was confused as well as heartbroken.

His Autism had hit me hard. I wanted to solve the mysterious occurrence of this dreaded disease in our lives.

What went wrong and how?

Reading through various resources, I realised that since Autism is an inherent, genetic disorder, the cause has to be at the genetic level, before he actually came into the world i.e from conception to delivery. I began scratching my brains to look for any vital clue that could have caused the intellectual damage to my child during the pregnancy. I rummaged through my medical records throughout the pregnancy but found no lead.

After months of brainstorming and research, I came to the conclusion that since Autism is a deep seated disease, physical factors do not seem to be the likely cause. Injuries during delivery can cause brain damage but Autism is equally prevalent in normal, full term deliveries with no apparent injury or complication, just as in my case.

I started exploring other aspects. It came to my knowledge that stress or emotional upsets can cause or trigger most of our health issues including these genetic or inborn ailments. I, instantly, recalled that I was indeed very emotionally vulnerable during my pregnancy. A family feud had affected me deeply and I was constantly disturbed by it. I wanted to escape the troublesome situation but was helpless to do so. But could this affect my unborn child so badly? Unfortunately, Yes!!

A lot has been documented about the physical needs of pregnancy – the bodily changes, the hormonal upheavals etc but not much has been discussed about the importance of the mental or emotional state of the mother during the time. The anger, the fear, the anxiety, grief ….. anything that affects the mother has a greater impact on the in-growing child as it’s still at a very nascent stage. No wonder expecting mothers are advised to read religious texts or inspirational stories to keep them positive through their maternal journey and to ward off stress, if any. In my case, the delicate foetal brain and heart of my child was attacked with strong emotions he was totally unprepared for and that could have affected its growth. It made sense to me.

And now that the apparent cause was clear, my search for the appropriate treatment began. I came to know about Homeopathy and its power to undo the bad effects of our emotions. It was an unconventional path to tread on but I was determined to reach my destination by taking suitable treatment that could help reverse the emotional or intellectual damage I have caused to my child unintentionally. So we went ahead with Homeopathy.

Thankfully, we made the right choice as we are now on our road to recovery and am confident that Homoeopathy will lead me to my intended goal. It will save my child from this crippling disease and provide the life he deserves to live and enjoy. It also reinforced my belief that maternal emotions, indeed, have the ability to cause genetic disorders in the child such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy etc.

We will surely win this battle for him coz I am not gonna rest until we beat this pest!!

P.S: Autism has a cause as well as the cure for it…..all it needs is timely intervention in the right direction.
