Yes, chiropractic care can help autism. I will not say that it reverses it but it helps control parts of the symptoms. Chiropractors get the nervous system balanced. Many people on the spectrum have an issue with their fight or flight autonomic nervous system always firing and the rest and digest autonomic nervous system not firing as much. With chiropractic care, these two system become more balanced and it causes shifts in the body. This helps people on the spectrum or with sensory disorders function better.
I know that is kind of complicated, but I work with several people on the spectrum or with sensory disorders and it makes a huge difference!

When chiropractors adjust people, we restore the balance in the nervous system and in the body. The nervous system is in constant communication with the immune system and when one functions well (like the nervous system after an adjustment), then the other functions well. There isn't much research on the mechanisms for how this works yet but thousands of people feel better after getting adjusted even with issues like colds, fevers, and allergies.
That being said, getting adjusted can ease tension in the shoulders, ribs and neck. This will loosen up the muscles and bones in the area and open up the chest for better inhalation and exhalation.

With fractionated coconut oil, that should be ok. I would recommend you to stay away from some essential oils while they are babies unless you know what the oil does and are using it responsibly. When children get to be around 2-3 then it is safer to use essential oils on them. If you do need to use essential oil for a reason, please make sure that it is safe for babies and only use a drop or two mixed with coconut oil.

Just like having a great workout or massage, things like lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and other waste molecules of the body can leave the joint or the muscles after the adjustment. We recommend drinking plenty of water after the adjustment, massage or workout to make sure that these molecules don't cause a buildup in another location in the body and can be pushed out of the body in the urine.
