Yes, I am a research scientist and my husband is a doctor, and we KNOW, based on the research, that these things are pseudo-scientific frauds.

People go for the exotic instead of the tried and true, hoping for magical results, and not just for mental health, but for everything. Anti-aging, for instance: the one molecule that has been proven to be extremely effective is retinol. But the market is flooded with other stuff. Retinol, sunscreen, hydration and sleep are boring, as are ADHD meds and good old behavioral modification.

Wait, so you don't think that there is no positive impact? There is actually research by Stanford confirming that it is beneficial and there are confirmed cases/results. The expectation is not to cure an autism but to improve the functions and quality of life. For example, a child who screams at all times is able to reduce the episodes and calm down. Like with any other therapy, you need to combine it with others and who gives you a guarantee that OT will work??
I work with speech pathology dep. at GWU and I can tell you that yes, we were skeptical in the 1980's but more and more research is supporting it, and somehow it works for a lot of people out in the world-in some parts listening therapies are available at elementary schools and preschools. 
A fellow professor in Montreal said that this is very popular in Canada.[/quote]
