Helping Children with Autism

My son who is 14 years old and is on autism spectrum, since morning has been looking towards the roof constantly. His neck muscle on one side seems to be stiff. All Attempts to distract him have been in vain. does this need medical intervention or he is doing so just casually? Please help.

My son who is 11 years old is difficult to manage especially during lockdown .he is restless, shouts a lot, throws a lot of tantrums and sometimes becomes difficult to control. please tell me how to tackle this situation and calm him down . Its just 2 of us at home,I have tried everything to make him feel good but it just doesn't seem to work. Please note he was diagnosed with autism since he 5 years old and has been on therapy since the age of 7 years.

Doctor my 6 year old daughter who was diagnosed with mild autism has been oflate very fussy with food. Nothing seems to please her. She is just not ready to open her mouth and eat.

She is lean and catches infection soon. please guide me what can I do to make her eat .

Hello ma'am. My daughter is ADHD child.. She is 10 years old... she has improved a lot... But her speech is not proper according to her age... She has a lot of problems during hindi reading.. What should I do for her better speech and language in both languages?

My 2 year old child just doesn't maintain an eye contact. His speech development is not according to his age and just keeps making repeated sounds like ghii ghii .... which do not make any sense to us . He just doesn't understand simple instructions. He is clumsy keeps falling down here and there. He keeps staring at one thing for 15-20 minutes without moving. Are these the red flags or am I just overthinking?

Hello Doctor!

Hello Dr. , My sister daughter is 10 yrs old n she don't understand wat the elders r telling to her, n she always reply rudely to elders, n when she do any mistake, we have to repeatedly tell her dt don't do this thing, it's not good, n she is sometimes showing so much of tantrums n not able to control. Her behaviour is not as normal wat it shud be of her age, n she behave like 2 yrs lesser of her age.
