Experiencing & feeling extreme negative emotions can be completely debilitating.
Witnessing and hearing about the emotions & subsequent behaviours & behaviour changes of children & teenagers with autism can be heart-breaking, if you are a loving parent of or know a child identified as having autism or aspergers. Coping as a carer of a child with autism displaying these behaviours & experiencing these emotions can be very difficult too. I’m sure every parent or carer of a child with autism would appreciate some support with helping to alleviate your child’s emotional symptoms.
Have you considered trying natural flower remedies to help with these extreme emotional symptoms if you or your child are experiencing these feelings? There is a range of flower essence remedies to potentially help alleviate the cluster of emotional symptoms which seem to come with autism, such as the extreme fear and anxiety.
Bach flower remedies can help manage & balance emotions on the journey to emotional mastery. They can be especially helpful for people who are more emotionally sensitive. They are very safe, simple & easy to use. Traditionally alcohol based, Bach flower remedies have now produced a range of remedies which are alcohol & sugar free, so are more suitable for children & teenagers and for those who have given up alcohol & sugar.
These remedies are something I would definitely consider if I were a parent of a child with autism or aspergers.
