Autism Spectrum Disorder

How can autism spectrum disorders be treated

Parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) describe that their children habits improve when they eat a gluten free diet. Grains such as wheat, barley, dairy products; casein all contain Gluten. However the point of debate is that does truly gluten free diet improves behavior, is it backed by evidence or is a misnomer?

Well, the answer is that there is no harm in trying a gluten free diet but parents should be aware of the dietary requirements of children and ensure that the child is taking adequate amount of nutrition. Essential proteins, vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, C, zinc, calcium is essential for the overall development of mind and body, thus it is necessary to ensure they are being taken in adequate quantity. Parents can make a chart of the entire nutritional intake and compare if anything needs to add in the dietary habits.

Another very important Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders is Stem Cell Therapy. Stem cells are basic building blocks of our body. And these Stem cells help our body to repair and rejuvenate itself. The technological advancements have allowed scientists to isolate these stem cells, enrich in the laboratory and re infused back into the body. Once inside the body, these stem cells are known to secrete growth factors and cytokine responsible for stimulation of micro environment to facilitate regeneration of damaged or weakened cells. These stem cells can able to home at the site of injury depending upon the signals created by micr oenvironment and boost up the process. Stem cells are aspirated from two of the most potent sources of our body, Bone Marrow and Adipose Tissue.

For example: Advancells has successfully treated children suffering from ASD with miraculous results and their parents are very happy and consider Stem Cell Technology as a blessing for their children.

Thus it can be convincingly concluded that Stemcell therapy is emerging as a promising medium to treat Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Reaching Out To Those In Need

Autism is a spectrum disorder of the brain affecting the child lifelong. It is called a spectrum disorder because how each symptom will affect a child is unique.  The symptoms of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) usually become noticeable from18 to 24 months, but they become more apparent during early childhood (24 months to 5 years). It affects how the child communicates with and relates to other people. A autistic child sees the world from a very different perspective and for them people’s body language and social behavior can appear just as strange as if people speaking in Greek. That’s why children dealing with Autism find it very hard to deal with family interactions and social behavior. And because of this disability they mostly resort to using of sign languages.

Though each child deals with broadly the same condition, some can live relatively independent lives whereas others are totally dependent lifelong. Mostly the prime areas of difficulty faced are in social communication, interaction and imagination.

They have difficulty in comprehending the meaning of words said by people; they find it difficult to understand people emotions and feeling and at the same time don’t know how to express theirs. They also find it hard to interpret other people's thoughts, feelings and actions.

Autistic people usually live in their own imaginative world and many people with autism are very creative and may be, for example, accomplished artists, musicians or writers.

Autism is a behavioral disorder for which many conventional therapies are available like speech therapy etc. These therapies might help a child reduce incidences of repetitive behavior or tackle speech abilities but do not address root cause of the problem and there is no breakthrough progress in dealing with this condition.

But Thanks to the advent of stem cell research there is a new hope in Autism cure.  Stem Cell Therapy for autism has the potential to repair weakened neurons in the brain and therefore improving communication and behavioral skills.

It has been researched that earlier stem cell therapy for autism is done; the higher are the success rates for cure.

One such company which has been successfully providing Stem Cell Treatment for Autism in India is Advancells.Advancells is passionately exploring the unlimited possibilities of Adult Stem cells in therapeutic application of regenerative medicine.

Umang was born autistic and had not spoken any meaningful word till the age of 7. But after Stem Cell Therapy he has recently started spoken his few meaningful words besides showing signs of significant improvement in symptoms, behavior pattern and cognitive abilities, following his first round of adult stem cell therapy. In this context, Umang’s improvement is nothing short of a miracle and his parents have started dreaming of his future again.
