Hello,I have a 14-year-old boy with mild to moderate autism with attention deficit and Turet syndrome.I am contacting you in search of objective guidance.I have heard about a new stem cell treatment that seems to be able to help a lot in alleviating the symptoms of autism.I would like to know if you have heard about this treatment and its benefits.I would appreciate any information you could provide me with on this subject.
I've just posted in another thread that mushroom compounds with Lion's Mane (as nootropics) can be helpful. I've struggled with deficiencies which can cause brain fog, lower immune system, gut-health issue - all connected, which we're learning more about these days. I also have a magnesium spray which can help with sleep.
As for the stem cells - I have seen adverts, but reading the fine print, I'd be apprehensive. And the reality is Autism and ADHD has always been around, just not always labelled such. Often what's disabling didn't exist 50 years ago. Much can be aided by keeping the home as natural as possible (halogen lamps, natural fibre clothes, scent-free cleaners or with essential oils, no scented candles, plug-ins, etc. and so on). And then helping him succeed at things he likes. But also, helping him realise that society used to be given direct 'rules' for social engagement, whether in a religious service or in print. the Victorian era was pronounced for starting this. I have a feeling algorithms, which are designed for the majority and not the minority of us who experience and think a little different, have really compounded this social change to where people expect telepathy of a sort.
This is an interesting look into Autism from a different lens https://autcollab.org/2020/04/30/autism-the-cultural-immune-system-of-human-societies/?fbclid=IwAR37xumHkRga0hADICA80wxaWycn7_Kr9Oc6uZhcs2zJ0QzamXOI4qwU2bQ

And Erich Fromm is always a good read on the nature of being human and things we need to actively recall. Reading a historical wealth of philosophers and sociology/psychology can put things in perspective.
