Clinical Case Reports: Children with ASD
Every child with autism has their own strengths, challenges, and support needs. If you are considering a program at Swiss Medica for your child, you may find it helpful to read about other families’ experiences.
These selected reports describe the difficulties children experienced before their program, the treatment they received, and improvements reported during follow-up — including changes in communication, play, and everyday independence. Each child’s experience is individual, and these reports cannot predict the outcome for your child.

He received one course of placental and umbilical cord MSCs with stem cell exosomes and macrophages.
