My mom saw a poster for NeuroCoreTherapy at the chiropractor's office. She brought home a brochure about it, and their website is above. Only the poster mentioned Asperger's and the Autism Spectrum. I believe it's designed for a bunch of conditions, besides AS or autism. My family has to look into if we are able to do this (I'm willing), but I was wondering what other people thought.

Nah.

This doesn't sound helpful for AS or ADHD honestly... but it may be more helpful for migraines or fibromyalgia, as science shows these are neurological in nature. I'd probably be the most interested one on here simply because I have fibromyalgia and migraines purposes but I'm still very skeptical.

I've found the deep pressure involved in chiropractic adjustments very soothing and it helps me relax but I don't think it's a cure.

It sounds like a scam, and has all the hallmarks - it is supported by "testimonials" instead of evidence, it does not appear in regular article searches, it is not recommended by regular doctors, and it has picked a wide collection of completely different treatments linked only by the probability of showing subjective instead of objective benefits.

That said, it does not look harmful, and the power of placebo and pleasurable treatment are huge - if it makes you feel good, then evaluate the cost.

I love the smell of snake oil, early in the morning.

I'm wary of things that make huge claims to treat a wide variety of conditions, with no actual concrete independent scientific evidence or explanation, but just patient testimonials and case studies. It seems very vague to me, and similar to things like going into a meditative state, which is something that can help anyone with anxiety and focus but is not a specific treatment for autism.

If I had loads of money and this was available near me, I might try it out of curiosity, because as StuartN said, it doesn't look harmful, and it could be interesting, but it's not something I'd go out of my way to try.

I agree with skeptics. Dealing with CFS for 20 years I've seen this kind of thing 1,000 times, and it smells like the usual BS. I.e. vague theories about "dysregulation," and as others have pointed out: it cures way too many disparate things, and there are testimonials instead of journal citations.

I'd bet it's really expensive, too. There always people willing to prey on the desperate. When you see one thing that cures a bunch of disparate things that present modern medicine doesn't do very well with, you're probably looking at a scam.

Looks like a scam to me.
