Remedy code: 3- 652.16.13
A girl of four years old, 'she doesn't want to talk.' The parents come from Africa and speak poor Dutch, but at home with the children, they speak three languages. From the age of two and a half, she stopped making eye contact; they say it's autism; the child plays, never shows emotions, never happy or sad. She does respond when we are angry with her. In the first period, development seemed normal; after the vaccination at 14 months, the consultation center noted a delay; after 20 months, the parents themselves noticed, 'This is not good.' After 14 months, she stopped speaking and eye contact ceased. She understands her parents, can also say letters, gets extra speech therapy, and physio, and parents are very involved. They call her a calm girl, but she doesn't look at you, in consultation room she walks around and under the table, keeps trying to get into my bookcase, and squeezes between my arms, as if it where just obstacles. Draws and scratch on the table, throws telephone and lamp on the floor, and pulls books from the shelf. Can stare for a while, can be 'guided.' Mother then grabs her face, and says a few times what is or isn't allowed. Little sleep, usually awake at 5 am. Talks in her sleep. Pregnancy was good, and delivery was good. Father has diabetes. No further information is available. The child is very introverted, stubborn, and very interested, especially in my desk, the phone, etc., but also in regular children's toys. Her development doesn't seem to deviate much further. Continuously congested with a lot of runny nose.

Silver series,
Silver series. Refusal
Stage 15. The repertory mentions
Antimonium muriaticum in the aphasia rubric. Prescription 1
Antimonium muriaticum MK.
Follow-upAfter four weeks, there is a change, she has listened now, and sometimes nods when you talk to her, eyes turned aside. The improvement was gradual; it started to stand out after two weeks. She will now try to put on her shoes herself for the first time. She now plays with her brother, and has good contact; she will now pay attention to the baby, for example, petting when it cries. Previously, she hardly reacted to other children. After taking it, she slept better for two nights. She now dances to music. In physio, she can now throw a ball. As a reaction, there is a lot of itching on the stomach and back, she had that before too. She still doesn't show emotions; she can cry if playing doesn't go well or if she can't catch up with her brother. She now has the attention or concentration to do something on Whats App; she is not as easily distracted anymore. She now goes on 'family visits,' which means to compatriots, the parents call it the 'clan.' The real family still lives in the home country. After seven months, it's still a bit better, but no progress; she's calmer but still climbs on the table. She makes little contact with other children and doesn't show emotions. The colds are not as frequent anymore. Talking remains unchanged.
AnalysisDetermining Class: where is her focus, her experience, and what stands out from the story? The progress doesn't continue; the development stagnates. We'll keep looking another remedy.
Silver series:
Antimonium, from the
Silver series, touches on the problem; so this can also can think of
Silver series, also fitting with the theme of 'communication.' Within the family, 'culture' is also a theme, fitting with Silverserie and so
Silver series.
Carbon series: She is very strong in her own body, that's where the focus lies. Little contact, no desire to respond to others, or respond to touch. Regarding consciousness, she is inside her own body, and ‘living there’ she is focused inward, from experience to be an indication for
Carbon series.
Clade 6 52: The tension between survival, land, family and safety (
Carbon series) versus culture, presentation and ideas,
Silver series. Parents do their best to learn good Dutch, which they succeed in, and they don't notice any discrimination. They can't do much themselves; they depend on help with paperwork.
Phase 1: Impulsive, no reflection, spontaneous.
Development has just begun, stalled; the family is not independent, unable to live autonomously.
Stage 13: The development starts but then the child withdraws. Parents are focused on the 'homeland,' a theme of nostalgia. For children, it is advisable to consider the family situation or home situation as a whole, as a characteristic, as being the living world and the influence. What stands out, what is characteristic or noticeable, can be used. The choice was a
Saxifragidae Stage 13.
Prescription: Rubus nigrum C200.
Follow-upAfter a month, they noticed a lot. The mother is radiant and happy. During the consultation, the girl is now sitting on the chair, doesn't break anything, doesn't scratch the table, moves and looks calmly, doesn't knock anything over but plays with the toys, and can be guided well. Singing songs to herself, some words are occasionally understandable. Mother says she can now react to other children, little brother, or friends. She gets a lot of attention, also at school. Colds are gone, occasionally some coughing. She woke up twice at night to pee independently. She is much calmer now, she is now engaged in something for a long time, she sings a lot at home, and she learns the songs from TV. On the way to me, the bus was late, waited for more than half an hour, and then had to spend an hour in the city; all that time she was manageable, obedient, and compliant. In the store, the mother can put her in the play corner and feels very reassured while she shops herself. If she eats a lot of sweets, lollipops, or cake, she wakes up at 3 a.m. The itching on the stomach is gone. She eats well, grows well. The development continues; after a year, she can attend special education.
Qjure mentions that they have difficulty expressing themselves well, expressing their emotions, and communicating on a personal basis. This indicates that the
Silicon series has not yet incorporated.
