Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate various physiological responses. While acupuncture is used to treat a variety of conditions, its use as a treatment for autism is controversial and not supported by evidence. When performed by a qualified and licensed practitioner, acupuncture is generally considered safe with few side effects. However, potential risks include infection, bruising, and injury if not done properly.
