Brad, from Las Vegas, shares the journey of his son Owen, who was diagnosed with autism at 22 months. At that time, Owen struggled with developmental delays, gut issues, and seemed to live in his own world—reserved, disconnected, and often uncomfortable.
Searching for answers, Brad and his wife Robyn discovered the Stem Cell Institute in Panama through a nonprofit organization. With the support of their biomedicine doctor, they made the decision to travel internationally for Owen’s treatment, determined to give him every possible opportunity for progress.
Now, more than a year later, Brad reflects on the remarkable changes they’ve seen. From eye contact and responsiveness to using an iPad, learning numbers and ABCs, and interacting with his older brother Grayson. Owen’s progress has transformed daily life for their family.
For Brad, the biggest difference has been Owen’s happiness, health, and engagement with the world around him. He calls the decision to seek treatment at the Stem Cell Institute a “no-brainer” for families searching for hope.
