Asd and adhd are more than just their external presentations. Whilst I don't doubt that some sort of physical manipulation is beneficial I'm nowhere near convinced that it's due to the reasons they describe in this film.
There's zero mention of emotional regulation, styles of communication, hyperfocus, hypermobility etc...
One little boy who was clearly very fearful of all things (sound sensitive, restrictive diet) before treatment, was described after treatment as now being confident and popular at school, as if people who are adhd and/or asd can't be confident and popular at school
Nothing about this film seems to be data driven (other than some stats on labelled people in prisons and how much adhd costs the US)
I'd like to see some autistics involved in studying this theory, the techniques used and their results. I wonder whether is the trauma that's being removed rather than the adhd/asd that's being described.
