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!

    Hi gemma,

    Very good advice from Mattbucks and Trainspotter. Do not waste your money on those type of treatments. Instead trust the doctors in the NHS to give you the best advice.

    Take care , Laddie.

    The doctors on the NHS are not aware of recent innovations in autism research such as stem cell therapy (e.g Duke University Stem Cell Trial). Of course don't go to some random clinic abroad and pay loads I'd recommend it when it gets FDA Approved. But no doctors in the UK are not aware of stem cell for autism yet.
