I have a son diagnosed with High Functioning Autism, it is a Pervasive Developmental Disorder. The neurons that communicate to the different parts of the brain do not work. It is viewed as a neurological problem affecting language, coordination, auditory processing, etc. It is very hard to manage. Western medicine does not have a cure for this, they will only treat the anxiety that it creates.
Treatment depends on each individual case.
The Tibetan Medicine physician will always focus first on the three principles of diagnosis, whatever the medical problem. After this initial examination the doctor will make decision and express what is the cause of disease and whether it can be treated according to Tibetan Medical Science. Let me roughly explain to you the underlying principles of our Tibetan Medicine Text. They are related to specific human organs and the nervous system. When the energies are in balance you have a properly functioning human body system.
