“The earlier you treat a child for autism, the more of an impact you can have on that child’s future,” Sally Ozonoff
The average age for children to be diagnosed with autism is three. By then language and social delays make the doctors assessment easy but the therapists job is harder. The kids have to break bad habits and re-learn skills that can take an effort. So the earlier we can detect the disorder the better.
Parents of children with autism have long suspected there was a way to know their child was different. Now researchers agree and are developing tests to help these kids. Turns out if you watch closely to how they play there are clues.
Children all play differently but if they have autism they are more likely to spin and rotate items they play with. Seem they also explore objects by looking at them sideways.
These little hints are what parents notice but don’t really give then the credit due. Researchers have found neurotypical children seldom do these things. So it is a major clue to help in detecting autism early.
If you suspect your child has autism try to see if they have these signs then talk to your doctor about it.

Well done here
My good friend, E. Michael Molnar MD, (american board certified and trained) has overseen the treatment of 17 low functioning autistic children in Hong Kong over the last eighteen months, using progenitor stem cells exclusively.
Each of these children were “normal” until reaching the age of 18 to 24 months, and; SUBSEQUENT TO RECEIVING measles vaccinations.
Each child improved substantially, eventually integrating into normal schools; provided being treated prior to reaching 12 years of age (blood brain barrier forms at around 12) and free of any metallic toxins at time of stem cell transplantation!
Clearly autism can be cured, and CONTRARY to what American medicine is currently saying! By the way, Down Syndrome can be treated up to about 4 years of age.
Lastly, we should anticipate President elect Obama reverse Bush’s existing stem cell executive order, however, don’t expect stem cell treatments to commence in the US for at least 10 years due to the instability of embryonic “pluripotent” cells that have a tendency to cause tumors in mice; hence the need to use early stage xeno fetal cells that have fully differentiated!
Please encourage Dr Molnar to publish his study results in a scientific peer reviewed paper. I was unable to find ANYTHING published by him.
This Doctor may well be a promonent stem cell researcher but that does not make him an authority on Autism treatment. Until I read his paper I remain skeptical.
Seventeen is NOT an adequate clinical trial size to proclaim a cure for anything. Again a real published double blind and peer reviewed study would be great as a start.
The MMR vaccination is not given until 48 months of age so i seriously doubt the ages claimed in this.
All reasearch I’ve ever seen about the blood brain barrier does NOT mention an age for its formation. As far as I can tell it is ALWAYS present. Please cite sources for this information and i’d be glad to post a correction.
Please do not confuse Autism with Down Syndrom. These are 2 completely different neurological disorders and will have very different treatments. They would still be on different genes and since scientist haven’t completed mapping the human genome I’d say we are still many years from seeing this kind of progress.
Whatever the US president does or does not do is really just speculation until it happens. Let the man do his job and IF he reverses previous decisions we can look at that reasoning. Until then its a propoganda rumor at best.
Thanks for your comments.
Dr. Molnar’s most recent publication is a 625 page physician text book styled “Stem Cell Transplantation” published by Medical and Engineering Publishers. His CV and numerous published works are easily available on the web.
Dr. Molnar is a clinican no longer a researcher. Data is currently being collected re the seveteen treated children. I did not confuse Down syndrome with Autism.
Your skepticism is understood, but again, he and his doctors measure their results in the clinics where they treat their patients NOT IN AMERICAN where they can still not provide a cure for autism! Sorry to be so blunt, but there are seventeen happy families in Asia who don’t care about peer review papers. By they way, Dr. Molnar does not know the exact age that the blood brain barrier becomes an obstacle to trasplantatio, but does belief it occurs around the age of 12.
I don’t mind bluntness as long was you can put up with mine. We’re still being civilized so its all good.
While I’m happy for those seventeen families they are but a tiny drop in the ocean of 10’s of thousands. In no way should they represent a miracle cure to be shouted from the mountain top. Or should we declare this treatment as the end all bee all of autism cures.
Clearly more studies are required and if your good doctor isn’t going to publish results reproducible by other physicians then its completely useless.
You also imply that other families are not happy with the treatment they are recieving. There are many autistic people that think they don’t need a cure and are fine the way they are.
We must all remember that Autism has a spectrum. Like Light there are many different frequency of symptoms. Severly effected people may react differently then mildly. So I don’t think any one thing is going to work.
That’s another arguement for another blog maybe.
American medicine has no known cure for Autism. What Dr. Molnar and his Asian physician’s provide, is a SAFE, INEXPENSIVE, and EFFECTIVE theraputic protocol via stem cell transplantation that has been around for at least forty years in predominately Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Within the next several months the country of Nigerian will announce the opening of Dr. Molnar’s progenitor stem cell treatment of AIDS in six of their major teaching hospitals; naturally, papers will be published on the truly remarkable success he’s had treating AIDS patient already, and those that will be treated successfully.
THIS IS REAL STUFF; not imaginary or voodoo magic. I have four healthy children, but truly feel for the wonderful children around the world, saddled with Autism!
