Family feedback

The family described changes in engagement, eye contact and mood. This personal account does not establish that stem cell treatment caused those changes or that it is effective for autism.

Roger's Journey

The account describes changes reported during a programme that included rehabilitation and other interventions. It cannot establish a benefit attributable to stem cells or predict outcomes for other autistic people.
