Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I have 3 appts. with 3 different chiropractors next week for my son. I need to choose one. Does it need to be someone who is familiar specifically with autism, or just good with kids? The one I like is great with kids, but I don't know that she's ever seen autistic kids. Assuming that, being chiropractors, they have some knowledge of autism-related alternative subjects, what is everyone's opinion on this?
