Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition that affects communication, behaviour, and sensory processing. Signs typically appear by age 2 and may include limited eye contact, delayed speech, repetitive movements, and difficulties in social interaction. Diagnosis is made using structured tools like ADOS-2 and ADI-R, allowing for early intervention to make the biggest impact.
While traditional therapies help manage symptoms, many parents ask:
What if there was a way to support cognitive, behavioural, and emotional development from within?
At ALIV, we offer a science-backed, non-surgical solution called Autologous Cell Therapy (ACT) for autism. This minimally invasive therapy uses the child’s own cells (typically from bone marrow or adipose tissue) to help reduce inflammation, regulate immune responses, and support neural repair. The result? A potential improvement in communication, behaviour, focus, and overall cognitive function.
Unlike conventional medications that only target surface-level symptoms such as aggression or hyperactivity, autologous cell therapy addresses underlying biological imbalances—such as immune dysregulation and neuroinflammation—that are often present in ASD cases.
Combined with early behavioural interventions like ABA or SST, autologous cell therapy can offer holistic, long-term improvements in children and adolescents diagnosed with autism.
Autologous Cell Therapy is typically recommended when:
To be considered for ACT, the child should:

Globally, stem cell therapy can range from ₹3,00,000 to ₹40,00,000 depending on dosage, cell type, and the provider.
At ALIV, we’ve designed our programs to be financially accessible without compromising on safety or efficacy. The cost for ACT is approximately ₹1,75,000 for 1 session—making us one of the most trusted and affordable autism centers in India.
ALIV is ranked among the best centres for autism treatment in India, offering personalised care and world-class support every step of the way.
What are the 3 main symptoms of autism?
What causes autism?
A combination of genetic, prenatal, and environmental factors are believed to contribute. There is no single cause.
Is autologous cell therapy safe for autism treatment?
Yes. At ALIV, we use autologous (self-derived) cells, minimising risk. Side effects, if any, are mild and manageable.
Can adults with autism undergo autologous cell therapy?
While results are best in children, adults may also benefit. A consultation is recommended to determine suitability.
Where are autologous cells injected for autism?
Primarily via intravenous or intrathecal (spinal) routes, depending on the case.
How does autologous cell therapy for autism work?
It helps reduce brain inflammation, repair neural damage, and improve cell-to-cell communication through the release of growth factors.
Can this replace behavioural therapy?
No. ACT works best in conjunction with behavioural and educational support, not as a standalone solution.
