Why my child is not improving in speech or learning faster despite giving risperidone?

Image
 Rule is: Whenever we donot see improvement in any field in life, it just means efforts in that direction are not enough or even if you are making lots of efforts, the time given for the directed efforts is not enough ! Risperidone is one of the approved drugs for behavioural issues in autism. It is not for speech development. its job is to keep the mind and body steady to facilitate learning receptiveness. Developing or focussing speech without focussed listening / understanding/ thinking is like empty vessel making sound.

Dr Kondekars hypothesis of autism as sensory equivalent of Cerebral palsy

Image
Autism as the “sensory equivalent of cerebral palsy,” as conceptualized by Dr. Santosh Kondekar, is a profound reframing of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Rather than seeing autism as merely a behavioral or psychiatric condition, Kondekar’s model places it in the domain of pediatric neurology — specifically in the category of **neurodevelopmental disconnection syndromes**, where sensory processing and integration are disrupted much like motor coordination is affected in cerebral palsy (CP).[1][2] ### Introduction: A New Lens on Autism Dr. Santosh Kondekar, a developmental pediatrician and neurodevelopmental specialist from Mumbai’s Nair Hospital, presents autism as a disorder of **internal brain communication** rather than purely social or linguistic deficits. In his “neuronal nutrition and bridging hypothesis,” he proposes that children with autism experience a **reticular activating system (RAS)** deficit — meaning the internal neural networks that connect various sensor...

🧠 Dr. Kondekar’s Goal-Directed Cognitive Approach: Building Vocabulary for Children with Autism & Learning Issues 🌟 Step 1: Readiness — Eye Contact & Connection When the child starts looking at you , he is ready to listen . Begin with eye-to-eye interactions and familiar faces — “Mama,” “Papa,” “Baby,” or their names. Teach what the child connects with first — living beings and family members . Then move to: Moving things (easy to notice) Big and visible things Daily objects (near the child’s surroundings) Close-distance objects first , then distant ones The first vocabulary must come from the child’s world — what he sees, touches, and feels daily. 📖 Step 2: Vocabulary Notebook — Building the Base Make a 100-page notebook divided into 4 columns : Word Knows Shows/Points Says Dedicate 6 pages per room : kitchen, hall, bedroom, bathroom, etc. Cover visible and useful objects . Around 500–600 words will form the child’s primar...
