Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Treatment at IRM Hospital
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of neurodevelopmental disorders predominantly characterized by impaired social functioning and communication disturbances. Symptoms can include intense focus on one item, unresponsiveness, lack of understanding social cues (like tone of voice or body language), repetitive movements, or self-abusive behavior like head-banging.
The severity of the symptoms varies widely among affected individuals. Other possible symptoms include learning to speak relatively late, not playing interactively with other children, avoidance of eye contact, lack of empathy, and social withdrawal.
Children with ASD, who have not developed sufficient language skills, may act out, including screaming or crying, to express their needs. It is important to note that people with ASD may vary widely in their level of functioning, and not all people with ASD will experience all of the symptoms listed.

Treatment works to minimize the impact of the core features and associated deficits ofASD and to maximize functional independence and quality of life.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Treatment
IRM is the institute of regenerative medicine that works and focuses on the management of patients with autism spectrum disorder and other neuro degenerative diseases by using stem cell treatment.
How is IRM treatment different from others?
Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at IRMs is a holistic approach to treating autism spectrum disorder. we will be administrating 1-3 million cell per kg body weight intra venously and intrathecally and 75 to 100 million exosomes .
In addition to this we will be providing I/V nutrition and cold laser therapy during the procedure.
About The Therapy & Cells
What is intrathecal therapy?
In the application of cells through a lumbar puncture, the cells are applied to the spine and travel directly to the neurological system, the liquid will always be 1ml regardless of the agreed amount of cells, we DO NOT extract any liquid from the patient , is performed by an anesthesiologist expert in children under the effect of anesthesia, therefore the child will not feel any discomfort, during the same anesthesia IV application will be made.
This procedure is completely optional and is 100% safe, the objective is to infiltrate cells in the spine, to have a rapid absorption and arrival in the neural system.
How are donors selected?
IRM has agreements with private practice gynecologists, who refer their patients who meet the selection criteria to us. Then they are contacted by the laboratory to ask for their donation.
What tests do donors undergo?
What age group or criteria must donors meet?
The criterion is that she is a first-time mother, between 18 and 25 years old, in good health.
