Drum For Spectrum
At Warrior Homoeopath, we recognise autism as a spectrum with wide variation in needs, abilities, and expressions.
Through precision Homoeopathy, we attend to the person and the specific challenges they experience. Our approach respects neurodiversity and works alongside existing support where appropriate, and is globally accessible.
Level 1 : The Invisible Struggle
Even when speech is fluent and daily routines appear manageable, many individuals with high-functioning autism or Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder carry an invisible weight. Social communication difficulties make conversations feel unnatural. Social anxiety, fear of change in routine, and internalised obsessive behaviours often dominate silently. Beneath calm exteriors lie sensory sensitivities, emotional overwhelm, and relentless perfectionism.
Homeopathy for high-functioning autism restores emotional flexibility. By easing anticipatory anxiety, reducing rigid thinking, addressing emotional dysregulation, and calming hypersensitivity to social situations, individualized remedies create space for confidence, self-expression, and emotional resilience, without suppression.
Remedies that may be considered include:
Silicea — anxious perfectionism, hypersensitivity, self-conscious reserve.
Gelsemium — anticipatory dread, trembling, mental fog before events.
Natrum muriaticum — bottled emotions, silent grief, hypersensitivity to rejection.
Level 2 : The Tangible Battle
At Level 2 Autism Spectrum Disorder, communication delays, limited verbal expression, and repetitive behaviours become more visible. Minor disruptions in routine may provoke meltdowns. Emotional swings between withdrawal and rage are frequent. Sensory sensitivities to sounds, lights, textures, and movement may intensify daily challenges.
Homoeopathy for moderate autism creates nervous system balance. By addressing sensory overload, calming emotional dysregulation, softening rigid behaviours, and supporting emotional regulation, remedies reduce distress and build smoother transitions.
Some remedy examples that illustrate how selection follows the individual pattern rather than the diagnosis itself:
Stramonium — sudden rage, sensory hypersensitivity, terror of dark.
Ignatia amara — mood swings, bottled grief, contradictory emotions.
Tarentula hispanica — hyperactivity, compulsive movements, rhythmic stimming behaviours.
Level 3 : The Overwhelming Storm
Severe Autism or Level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder involves profound communication difficulties, often with nonverbal autism. Self-injury, violent outbursts, or aggression can erupt under extreme sensory overload. Daily routines depend on substantial caregiver support. Repetitive behaviours, rigid rituals, and unpredictable meltdowns define daily life.
Homoeopathy for severe Autism offers a gentle stabilising force. Remedies work deep within the overstimulated nervous system, reducing self-harming behaviours, lowering violent impulses, and gently balancing sensory processing, creating a calmer internal state.
Some commonly deployed remedies include:
Belladonna — violent meltdowns, flushed face, sudden rage.
Hyoscyamus niger — erratic speech, inappropriate behaviors, poor impulse control.
Kali bromatum — restless picking, repetitive tics, self-injury, compulsive movements.
