Chiropratic therapy??? - Autism Spectrum Message Board

Does anyone have any experience with this for their child with autism? I am considering taking my son to one in our area who said she has good success with autistic children. I also, don't want to frighten the heck out of my son either. Thanks for any advice or input.

Be very skeptical. I have a thirteen year old and we have wasted money on many so-called experts who had "done wonders with autistic children." I would ask if any of the parents of any of those kids would be willing to share their experience. But, I am skeptical and cynical about the psychologists and psychiatrists who don't seem to really have a whole lot to offer either. The most success we have had with our son has come from information we learned from other parents about methods that worked, certain supplements etc.

My son has gone to the chiropractor- Not for cranial-sacaral therapy, but because his neck and hip were out of alignment, and he was in pain. Obviously pain affects everyday activites and mood- so he is in much better spirits and more able to focus.

Thank you for the responses. I am aware that there is not a magic bullet for autism. I too, am very skeptical but willing to look into different things to try and make Dylan's life a little easier. I appreciate the feedback...thanks.
