Brief summary

This clinical trial is a single Arm, single centre to check the safety and efficacy of bone marrow derived autologous mono nuclear cells (MNC) (100 million per dose). Trial to be conducted for 36 months.

Detailed description

Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills. Autism is a physical condition linked to abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain.

Some children with autism appear normal before age 1 or 2 and then suddenly regress and lose language or social skills they had previously gained. This is called the regressive type of autism. People with autism may: Be overly sensitive in sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste.

Interventions

Intra thecal injection of autologous MNC ,Intra thecal inj.of 100 millions MNC in 3 doses at 10 days interval.
