There’s research and everything saying that fish oil helps children with autism, but it also contains mercury which is not good for them. It sounds contradictory.

I am researching autism in children under 3 right now. My friend and I have been discussing my son. We believe, my son is showing signs of autism. My friend said he has autistic children in his family and those children have big heads. Like rounder in the back of the head.

Does anyone know if this is typical in autism?

rachael2608@ymail.com asked:


I’m doing some medical research on autism in babies and children up to 2/3years, and i wondered what kind of doctor would specialize in diagnosing this in children, and what kind of tests they would generally run. I initially thought neurologists, but I’m still not really sure.

Is it also possible that there could be a physical cause for autism, such as something to do with the brain or anything like that?

Thanks!

radioflyer57 asked:


I’ve heard that the government provides financial aid for people with Asperger syndrome. For a recently diagnosed adult who is no longer in the school system, what treatments are available and what kind of financial aid is available (for adults)? Also, what steps need to be taken to apply for/receive financial aid? Which organizations should be contacted? What treatments are recommended? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
