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

    My best advice to you is that at the moment there is no known cure for autism. However there is hope new stem cell treatments will probably be FDA Approved in the future. You might of heard about the Duke University stem cell trial for kids with autism. Following stem cell treatment their autistic symptoms significantly improved including socialisation abilities. CNN did an article on it here https://edition.cnn.com/2017/04/05/health/autism-cord-blood-stem-cells-duke-study/index.html. So for now don't spend your hard earned cash on stem cell treatments they'll be available for free on NHS if it gets FDA Approved. Wait until the clinical trials are completed plus some clinics are scams.
