text:  So Dr. Prather, what conditions does craniosacral therapy help? Well, one of the biggest things we think of is autism. If you notice that autistic children or adults have a rocking motion, either from side to side or forward and backwards. And what they're trying to do is to pump their cerebral spinal fluid because it's not pumping. That's one of the things that actually creates the autism. When you're doing craniosacral, you're moving the cerebral spinal fluid.
