Stem cell therapy aims to repair or replace damaged cells, which in the context of ASD, is thought to potentially address neurological deficits.

Studies exploring the use of stem cell therapy for ASD often focus on using autologous cord blood stem cells, where a child's own cord blood, stored at birth, is used in the treatment. Some preliminary studies and clinical trials have suggested that this treatment may improve some symptoms in children with ASD, such as social interaction and communication.
