unfortunatly to date there is no cure for
autism. there are only ways of educating
the child or yourself to be more social.
You just have to force yourself to talk to
people.

I dont have autism but i have a very hard
time talking to people too. I hate
answereing the phone and id rather go to a
store where i know where everything is
rather than ask someone for help. Its
something that we have to practice and its
not easy to do.

Need For the Best Advice And Therapy

We never want to let the years pass by in
weakness. Now, there are labels put to
conditions for the convenience of others.
But we are unique and so is our set of
problems. Often we challenge ourselves
unnecessarily believing that some social
norm is "the good" and we HAVE to cut it
or we are "bad" - at whatever age. Well,
schooling, for one is more indoctrination
than education and has been on a steep
slide for decades! Maybe not "fitting in"
is a blessing in many environments! I
would strongly suggest finding work that
does not go so directly against the grain
causing more self-esteem issues. Try a
less people-contact job or where social
graces are not so precious! I always
recommend www.dyslexia.com
which deals with autism particularly.
Contact them and tell them your story.
They are the best and of a new "age" in
this. We have to climb out of the past and
see each others' gifts.

Hey! You can get help. You should see a
psychologist and talk about ways to work
on social skills.

I was a complete skeptic regarding
alternative treatments. I have studied
Autism in my professional work and also
have a son originally dx with Autism. I
was so desperate to try anything. I began
using fish oil shortly after my son was
dx. In three months, he was talking so
much more and he was beginning to display
interest in reciprocal communication with
his peers. He had only 10 - 15 words in
his spoken vocabulary at age 2 years, 3
months. He rarely made eye contact and was
not interested in any type of reciprocal
communication. The leaps and bounds he
made amazed the three professionals who dx
him. He slowly got better. Now he is a
very social little boy who has wonderful
expressive language skills. He still seems
to be on the spectrum but it's hardly
noticeable unless you work with him.
Lately I have been noticing that he is
getting worse. He has also started to
stutter. One week ago I started him on
fish oil again and didn't tell my husband.
He noticed today that my son hasn't been
stuttering as much and some of his
"cognitive inflexibility" features seem to
be diminishing. I am really trying to
analyze whether or not there is a placebo
effect on my part working but I honestly
don't think so. My husband noticed a
difference and he didn't know I was giving
my son anything. I will just continue to
see what happens.
I am not saying this is the answer but it
seems to have really helped my son. I
don't believe fish oil can hurt and it
certainly has helped my son!!
I would google "fish oil and autism," as
there has been some research studies
pertaining to this. I haven't had a chance
to actually review these studies but it
should be interesting

Interesting "fish Oil"

Been using it myself for general health.
The brain is certainly a chemical process,
and I agree that diet and what we ingest
has affect on our overall psychology.

help yourself--its just a matter of
finding them.

That is truly amazing. I am now curious
if it would have the same results on an
adult. Hmmmmm

I did the same thing with my son who is on
the spectrum. As ladylee mentioned, it
doesn't do any harm so why not try it.
It's anecdotal, of course, but I think it
has helped. Get as much support as you
can, though, don't count on it as a silver
bullet.

Personally, I has a similar problem myself
with AS and I got a job in a store over
the summer last year. Basically I just
told myself that I had to learn to do
these things somehow or I would lose my
job. It took a while but eventually I got
a lot better at it, and now for the first
time in 18 years I can talk to people I
don't know, and make small talk and that
kind of thing. Not very well, but it's a
start. Just push yourself, you never know
what you can achieve until you try. 
Don't worry about the phone thing, a lot
of people don't like answering the phone.

the autistic child.. there diet can help..
