Case by Tomáš Výboch.
Boy 4 years old, autismThe boy is non-verbal, and has delayed speech development. He is very fearful, and afraid of new things. It takes him a long time to try something new.
He was hypotonic from birth. His parents started noticing problems when he was two years old. He didn't want to play with his parents. If he played, it was only alone, as if he was closed in his own world.
If he feels overlooked, he gets angry and starts pinching his parents. Sometimes he walks on tiptoes. When he is very happy, he shakes his hands. He accepts if someone plays next to him. In the past, he was more sensitive to sounds. If the teachers involve him in an activity in kindergarten, he will do it, but he doesn't get involved on his own. His mother feels that she has excessive fear. He is curious but lacks courage. If his mother is watching videos from the kindergarten, the boy is always at the side of the other children.
If he's listening to a fairy tale and he doesn't like something, he covers his ears and starts screaming. He looks for a place to hide. He is sensitive to sounds. He likes jigsaw puzzles and looking in books. If someone takes a toy from him, he starts biting him, he gives it back to the person. The mother feels that he understands speech, but does not use it.
He is hyperactive, runs, jumps, never rests. He likes to count.

Follow upAfter six weeks he starts to repeat more words. He is more attentive, more receptive. He shows more emotions, says what he wants and what he doesn't want.
After two months, he can repeat more and more words. He reacts if he is addressed, he did not react before. Understanding has improved.
After half a year, the mother reports that after each administration of the remedy, she notices progress: he repeats words better and can say what he wants. He cooperates better.
The hyperactivity did not improve after the remedy.
