Stem Cells a Possible Treatment for Autism?

Lauen DiCorcia, who has been helped by Stem Cell Therapy

In Germany, they are now offering a treatment for Autism using Stem Cells. One story of Success is Lauen DiCorcia, who received stem cells from her hip bone marrow reinserted via lumbar puncture. Her parents say the results were immediate, and she was able to sleep through the night for the first time shortly after the treatment, among other things. But with a disease like Autism, it is hard to know if an improvement has occurred because of a treatment, or coincidence. Parents are desperate for even the slightest improvement, and can often attribute improvement to treatment, even though that is not always the case. To prove that this treatment would work, you would have to do a double blind test, with two patients, and have one get the stem cells, and one not, but not have anyone know which was which but the research scientists. The article did not say if such a test has been done yet or not, and since this is from a site advocating Stem Cell research, it would definitely be bias.
