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
