Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

Hey everybody. Does anybody know anything good or bad about Lovaza (formerly Omacor) which is prescription strength fish oil? I've had good results using fish oil before, I just wonder what the deal is with it being prescription strength?? I've heard is supposed to be more pure and potient. I don't really know.
Then the Oxytocin is supposed to help people with autism learn how to read others emotions, show empathy themselves and also become more social. It's a "love" hormone of sorts. = )
I just read on the internet about Lovaza and Oxytocin and their impact in lives of those w/ autism and it's very interesting stuff. Just had to come here and ask you guys if you've heard about either or both. You are my "true" experts.
Thanks,
Luann

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

p.s. I understand your frustration about being at a stand still in development. It's much better than regressions though right? That's what I tell myself when I can't see marked improvement for some time. Hopes this way of looking at it helps you feel some better.
I bet there isn't much difference at all between the Lovaza and reg. fish oils on the market. I just looked it up on the internet. I saw too what you were saying about other oils being greatly beneficial too. = ) Hope you have a good night and thanks so much for commenting.
