Clinical Homeopathy™ for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) & Speech Delay in New Jersey

Ashwini: Hi everyone, my name is Ashwini. I’m from New Jersey, and I have a 5-year-old daughter. Honestly, I think God sent Dr. Sheena to us because we were dealing with a huge challenge in our lives with our daughter. But since we came to Dr. Sheena, we have seen a huge difference and so many improvements—we’ve never looked back! Dr. Sheena: That’s awesome. You came to me three years ago—literally three years to the date! Talk to me about some of the initial challenges you were experiencing. Ashwini: When my daughter was 18 months old, she was completely nonverbal—zero vocal sounds. She wasn’t responding to her name, had no eye contact, and it felt like she lived in her own bubble. Our pediatrician suggested she might fall on the autism spectrum and recommended we get her evaluated. We wanted to find alternatives beyond just standard therapies because we wanted her cognitive development and brain function to truly improve. Dr. Sheena: So when you first came in, she was nonverbal, experiencing mutism, hand-flapping, tiptoeing, and had no eye contact or spatial awareness. Ashwini: Exactly. No response, no eye contact, no spatial awareness, and she was very hyper. She was also extremely sensitive to food textures and had sensory issues. Dr. Sheena: What was your timeline like after starting the NDP Protocol™? How quickly did you start seeing changes? Ashwini: Within the very first visit and the first few months of remedies, we started seeing small, steady steps. Within 1 to 2 months, she began to calm down. Within six months, she started talking—going from single words to two-word phrases, and then into full sentences. Within one year, there was a massive difference: she was responding to her name, no longer tiptoeing or hand-flapping, and following direct commands. Dr. Sheena: And did you use any other medications during this time? Ashwini: No, strictly your homeopathic remedies. Dr. Sheena: Today she’s 5 years old. How is she doing now in terms of school and independence? Ashwini: She is completely independent! She wants to do everything on her own—putting on her clothes, helping with laundry and chores. When the school district did her IEP evaluation, she no longer qualified for special education services—she’s entering regular public school for first grade! Dr. Sheena: That is incredible news! Ashwini: Even more amazing: during her new school screening, they informed us that she qualifies for the Gifted & Talented Program! She’s also super social, swims on her own, does Taekwondo, Indian classical dance, and singing. Dr. Sheena: From an ASD diagnosis with mutism, stimming, and no eye contact to entering a Gifted & Talented program in less than three years—that is a huge milestone! Thank you so much for sharing your story, Ashwini. Ashwini: Thank you, Dr. Sheena. You opened the doors for us, and you really did wonders for our family!
