Dear Sir, My son, Rishik Mukherjee has diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2 years. Now he is 6.4 years old. We are continuing all the therapies in Kolkata. He has one major problem of severe constipation since last 5 years. We have consulted many doctors but not get any positive result. We need to apply suppository to him also as no medicine works.
