First of all, I find it offensive to mock Chinese medicine. Chinese believe in a different way of diagnosing disease. Acupuncture is not junk science. It actually quite complicated with all the nerves and meridans that are involved in the human body. Please read the following links.

The tongue is examined for color, thickness, dryness, smell, and any growths on the surface. This helps to diagnose disfunction in the body. The tongue connects all the merdians in the body. By placing needles on the tongue, it will stimulate responses in the brain. This will effect areas in the brain responsible for language, cognitive funcion, etc. This is a very general description on why the tongue is chosen. They also will place needles on the head and under the chin to treat autism. Unfortunately, my autistic son could not tolerate acupuncture. The acupuncturist said that the metals and toxins must be removed first in my son's case.
I would recommend trying a chiropractor to align the spine and free any nerves that may be pinched. A chiropractor has a chart showing the nerves and where it enters each vertebrae. Each nerve responsible for different organs in the body. Autistic children will have subluxations in the cervical vertebrae and this pressure causes them to head bang. Its weird but only this treatment stopped my son from hitting himself and his immune system started to improve. The incidence of sinus infection declined sharply. Don"t think that I am crazy because I am a woman of science. I used acupuncture and chiropractor as a non-medicine route to help my son. I can't provide a "scientific" reason why but chiropractor did work for my son.
