Posted by americastemcellof on February 19th, 2020

Stem cells are found in various body parts like muscles, skin, bone marrow and brain. They have restorative nature which allows them to create cells like them with stem cell therapy. They are used whenever we need to regenerate certain tissues. This therapy does not work equally well in the brain as there are other cellular components in the brain that have a strong impact. Certain traumatic brain injuries and Autism have been successfully treated with stem cell therapy. It has also been extensively used for cerebral palsy.  

Let’s understand the meaning of autism: Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. This disorder’s diagnosis is not usually given until the child turns a few years old. Autism is now found at a rising rate in children residing in developed countries as well. As per the latest statistics released by the top authorities of the United States, it is found that the number of autism cases has risen from 1 in 125 children to 1 in 59 children. Every autism case is unique which is why Autism Treatment has always been a challenge for researchers and doctors to find the right treatment.

Tips to choose the right clinic for autism stem cell therapy: Autism treatment with stem cell therapy is still undergoing research. It has not developed as much as the treatment for cerebral palsy. Therefore, whenever you hear that a clinic is offering stem cell therapy for autism, make sure to ask a few questions. 

Here are the questions which every parent must ask clinics which are offering Autism Therapy: 

Enquire if the professional providing this therapy is well-trained and certified to manage severe and negative reactions to transfusions. This is a basic safety step that you must take.  

Enquire about the stem cells which will be used in autism treatment. The donor-patient matching of different types of stem cells is crucial to ensure that the patient does not develop anti-bodies. 

Enquire about the stem cell dose that the patient will be receiving. If they give a low dose of stem cells, then it may not provide expected results. 

Don't pay them until you are satisfied that you will be getting viable stem cells. Choose wisely!
