Please, answer the following questions to the best of your ability.
The information you provide will be used for a thesis proposal,
acupuncture in the treatment of autism. I appreciate your time and
your expertise, Thank-You!
________________________________________________________________________
Please provide your credentials (What institutions did you attend for
your education? What degrees have you obtained?, How long have you
been practicing acupuncture?)
How often do you treat children with autism?
What role does acupuncture have in the treatment of children with autism?
How does oriental medicine view autism?
Does this view change from one patient with autism to another patient
with autism or is it universal? If so, how?
How do you diagnosis to understand the imbalance of Qi?
Does treating the child based on individual symptoms rather than the
symptoms of the disorder ultimately benefit the individual? Please,
provide detail.
I am familiar with deep pressure techniques that help individuals with
autism. Does acupuncture also demonstrate benefits in the area of
sensory integration, through the placement of needles, and if so to
what degree?
If so, do you feel that acupuncture is at all comparable to deep
pressure (placing pressure on specific areas of the body)? If so, how?
Can you provide any cases in which you have noticed significant
improvement in children with autism through the use of acupuncture?
ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.
