Solving Sensory Issues in Autism

The way the brain perceives the world is largely influenced by the tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory systems. Children with autism often experience dysfunctions in one or more of these areas. In such cases, physiotherapy can be helpful. However, other sensory domains also require attention and development.

Visual System Challenges in Autism

One of the signs of autism involves atypical visual processing — lack of eye contact or unwillingness to maintain it, staring off into the distance or fixating on a specific point, and difficulties coordinating central and peripheral vision. These issues can even lead to neck vertebrae misalignment. While an ophthalmologist may be needed in some cases, simple activities at home can also help, such as:

1. Rainbow sand
2. Sensory bottles with color blending or falling beads
3. Glowing ice and liquids

Olfactory Sensitivity

The brain also gathers information about the environment through smell. Increased attention to smells others don’t notice — or ignoring them altogether — can cause distraction or distress in children with autism.

Oral Sensory System Dysfunctions

Some autistic individuals experience hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity in the oral sensory system. This can manifest as reluctance to brush teeth, limited food preferences, drooling, or messiness during meals. Helpful tools include:

1. Scented jars with vanilla, rose, citrus, or cinnamon
2. Scented modeling clay (avoid if the child tries to eat it)
3. Blowing soap bubbles

Auditory System Imbalances

Some children may cover their ears even when it’s not loud or show anxiety in crowded, noisy environments. To improve auditory processing, try:

1. Sound-matching games
2. Learning to associate movement with sound
3. Playing musical instruments
4. Installing soundproofing in the child’s room

These activities are affordable, accessible, and don’t require significant financial investment. However, their effectiveness may be limited, and they don’t address the root cause — autism itself.

Stem Cell Therapy: A Deeper Solution
The most effective, safe, and natural method for treating autism and its symptoms today is cellular therapy. Its final and most critical step involves the transplantation of stem cells, which activate the body’s regenerative abilities.

Stem cells can transform into any other type of cell, replacing damaged ones with healthy counterparts. The result is a normalization of brain function, nervous system regulation, improvement in sensory processing, and reduction or elimination of behavioral and other autism-related issues. Positive effects often appear shortly after treatment and may last for years — even a lifetime — increasing the effectiveness of all other interventions, including the sensory methods listed above.

Once considered experimental, cell therapy has gained global recognition and is now used in leading clinics around the world, including the Mardaleishvili Medical Center. There, highly qualified specialists with extensive experience in stem cell transplantation work with the most advanced equipment, ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Despite the world-class standards, the cost of treatment is lower than in many other countries with high levels of healthcare. An added benefit is the assistance provided with travel planning, including accommodation during rehabilitation.
