Autism is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder. The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in India is estimated to be around 1 in 68 children, according to a 2021 study published in the Indian Journal of Pediatrics. This translates to approximately 1.12 (0.74-1.68) per 100 children aged 2-9 years. Despite the high prevalence & associated impairment, Autism remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in many populations. Underlying etiology of autism spectrum disorder is still unknown. In Ayurveda, most psycho social abnormalities are included in the category of unmad. The present study describes the case of a child with Autism, who has been clinically diagnosed and treated with Ayurveda medications and Panchkarma procedure. There is significant improvement in relieving symptoms noted after giving Matra basti in present case.
