wont work; stem cells repair physical problems, but autism is a genetic difference in the brain; the only way to "cure" autism is a brain transplant.

autism is not a disease and therefor uncureable, just as homosexuality or dyslexia are...

izzeme might not have come across the FDA trial that got the go ahead recently.
It will be interesting to see what the outcome is...

Because I've never posted on this forum before I'm not allowed to post a link so you'll have to google it for yourself:

I don't need to be treated. I need to be understood and accepted, without changing anything about me.
