Stem Cell treatment

Hi there,

I have a 12 year old girl diagnosed with Aspergers at age of 3. She is coping well academically, but struggling with social interaction and friendship terribly! We tried all sorts of supports but nothing seemed working. We are debating if to try a course of stem cell treatment. It's such an innovative, invasive and expensive treatment, just wondering if anybody out there have ever experienced or knew somebody had such treatment! There are quite a few centres in Europe. They charge  between $10000 to $20000. We are not sure if they are as good as they claimed to be. Any thoughts/ advices would be greatly appreciately!

Thank you very much!

Gemma

    Stem Cell therapy shows promise in ASD according to a CNN article. It could work!

    Not to cast dispersions on cnn but not sure of the validity of this...

    It is very valid. The study was done in Duke University and after kids received stem cell treatment their socialisation abilities improved dramatically. I understand it's not yet FDA approved however I am confident it will be in the future. I'm quite shocked by some of the comments here by some users quickly stating that autism has no cure. It has no KNOWN cure but I'm sure in the future we'll have some sort of cure for autism. Stem Cell therapy shows real promise for Aspergers and Autism. Check it out on CNN and other reliable news sites including Duke Uni's site.
