Stem Cell Therapy for Autism in Children | Documented Improvements & Doctor’s Notes

As parents, we all want the very best for our children. If your child has autism, you’ve likely tried many therapies—speech therapy, ABA, occupational therapy, special education programs—and while they help, you may still wonder if there’s something more that could make a difference.

That’s why many families are turning their attention to one of the most exciting areas in medicine today: stem cell therapy.

At our clinic, we’ve seen how stem cells can bring real improvements to children with autism—helping them sleep better, engage more with their families, and even start communicating in new ways. And we’re not alone: research from Duke University has shown promising results that give families even more reason to be hopeful.

What Are Stem Cells and Why Do They Help?

Think of stem cells as the body’s “master cells.” They have the special ability to repair, calm, and balance areas that aren’t working the way they should.

For many children with autism, scientists believe the brain and immune system may be dealing with too much inflammation. This can affect how a child communicates, learns, and connects with others.

Stem cells—especially those from umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue—can reduce this inflammation and release natural healing signals that support the brain. The result? A healthier environment for your child’s brain to grow, learn, and develop.

The Duke University Studies: Why Families Are Excited

One of the most well-known studies on stem cells and autism was done at Duke University. In their research:

• Children who received stem cells from umbilical cord blood showed improvements in social skills, communication, and eye contact.
• Parents noticed their children were more engaged, calmer, and easier to connect with.
• Importantly, the treatment was shown to be safe and well-tolerated.

While not every child improved the same way, these results are exciting because they show that stem cell therapy can make a real difference for some children with autism.

What We See at Our Clinic

At Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A., we offer both umbilical cord blood stem cells and umbilical cord tissue stem cells (MSCs)—two of the most powerful sources available.

And just like in the Duke studies, we’re seeing encouraging results in real life. We carefully track every child’s progress, and here are some of the improvements we’ve documented:

• Children who once struggled with restless nights are now sleeping better.
• Families are noticing less irritability and fewer meltdowns.
• Parents tell us their children are showing more eye contact and are more inclined to pointing at objects and naming them.
• Some children now actually pick the foods they like to have.
• Some children are even using new words or communicating in ways they never did before.

Every child is unique, but for many families, these changes have been life-changing.

Documented Improvements in Children with Autism

At our clinic, we carefully track each child’s progress through detailed medical notes. After undergoing stem cell therapy, many families and therapists have reported noticeable improvements in their children’s communication, behavior, and social interaction. Dr. Nourparvar documents these changes in his notes, highlighting real-world progress observed both at home and in their therapy sessions. These records are an important part of understanding how children respond to treatment and provide meaningful insight into the positive impact stem cell therapy can have on daily life. 

Is Stem Cell Therapy Safe?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of umbilical cord stem cells is their excellent safety record. In studies and in our own clinic, treatments are well tolerated. Some children may feel a little tired or warm afterward, but no serious side effects have been noted.

We take every precaution to make sure treatments are safe and comfortable, so parents can feel confident about their child’s care.

Our clinic uses a highly purified form of cord blood-derived nucleated stem cells. These stem cells are processed in advanced and FDA registered labs where:

• HLA Class I antigens (e.g., HLA-A) are removed
• Immunoglobulins (IGs), hemoglobin (HGB), and red blood cells (RBCs) are filtered out
• Purity is guaranteed with every Certificate of Analysis (COA) per shipment

This means no need to worry about matching, blood typing, or risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)—a major safety benefit.

This clinical benefit is supported by findings in this journal article:
“Cord Blood Therapy: HLA Matching & Safety” – Journal of Translational Medicine

What Families Can Expect

When you visit our clinic, we make sure you’re supported every step of the way:

1. Personal consultation – We listen to your child’s story, your goals, and answer every question.
2. Personalized treatment – We recommend the best type of stem cells (cord blood, cord tissue, or both) based on your child’s needs.
3. Close follow-up – Our doctors keep detailed notes and check in regularly to track your child’s progress.
4. Visible results – Many parents see changes in the weeks and months after treatment, with improvements often continuing to grow over time.

A Brighter Future for Children with Autism

Stem cell therapy is opening up a new world of possibilities for children with autism. Families who once felt out of options are now seeing progress they never thought possible.

At our clinic, we believe in giving every child the chance to thrive. With the healing power of stem cells, we’ve seen children become more engaged, calmer, and more connected with the world around them. 

If you’re looking for hope, if you’re searching for something that could finally help your child break through barriers, stem cell therapy may be the answer.
