What changes the price
- Child weight — dosing is weight-based, so cost scales with the child's size.
- Delivery route: intrathecal administration in children adds cost and risk.
- Number of sessions and length of stay.
- Whether a paediatric specialist is part of the treating team.
- Inclusion of standardised pre and post behavioural assessment.

Frequently asked questions
- Is there evidence stem cell therapy helps autism?
- Evidence is limited and contested. Some small trials report parent-reported behavioural changes; larger controlled trials, including a Duke University cord blood study, did not show benefit over placebo on primary endpoints. No regulator has approved a stem cell therapy for autism.
- What questions should parents ask?
- Ask for the standardised assessment used before and after treatment, the exact cell type and dose, who administers it, the paediatric adverse-event history, and what happens if there is no measurable change.
- Are there red flags to watch for?
- Yes: guaranteed improvement, testimonial-led marketing without published protocols, pressure to book multiple sessions upfront, and any refusal to provide a certificate of analysis.
