Autism and Attention Deficit Disorder Autism can be a frustrating and confusing problem, but the flower remedies correspond with many of the exact symptoms of this condition, and can provide great relief to those who suffer from it. The hallmark of autism—the desire to be alone and to withdraw within one’s self—is the classic description of Water Violet.  This remedy can help to make autistic people more sociable and to connect with those around them. Many autistic people are simply over-sensitive to influences and ideas, and become easily upset or affected by others.  Holly is the remedy for anger and upset, and can help keep people from getting mad or angry when someone is mean.  Walnut  can help with this too, while Vervain can help when they get upset because they feel something isn’t fair.  Centaury and Agrimony are useful for a range of problems that come from over-sensitivity to others. For the fixation and obsessive compulsive behavior many autistic people show, Rock Water can help greatly.  This remedy helps those people who must have everything in a precise order or done a certain way, or who can’t go on to the next task until they have completed what they are working on. Crab Apple can help with fixations directed towards oneself, and Chestnut Bud and Walnut can help from being too keyed into one sensation. Many autistic or special needs people also tend to need Vine, as they can  become bossy or demand things their own way all the time.  Heather or Water Violet are also both good in cases where people have trouble identifying or recognizing that other people have feelings and needs of their own too.   For trouble paying attention and being unable to follow directions, there are several remedies that can help.  Chestnut Bud is a key one to try, along with Walnut, Vervain, Wild Oat, Cherry Plum, Heather, and Vine, depending on the person.  Be sure to give the remedies you decide are needed regularly, as well as  whenever the recipient is especially in the mood that the remedy is designed to treat.  There’s no need to overdo it, but don’t be afraid to use them either.  In addition to just targeting the one particular problem—i.e. being withdrawn or unsocial—use the other flower remedies that help with whatever else they happen to be feeling.  These other, everyday feelings can have a big impact on the individual, and by using the appropriate flower remedies to help with them everything else becomes easier, and the overall progress will be quicker.
