Our daughter Jessica is an exceptionally fussy eater like a lot of children with Asperger’s Syndrome and despite our best efforts, her diet could not be described as anything but poor.

Her Grandmother persuaded Jess to swallow a vitamin and an Omega-3 tablet. Omega-3 oils are abundant fatty acids found in cold-water fish like salmon, herring and cod. Intake of omega-3 fatty acids is correlated with a better mood and more positive outlook, and may contribute to improving the structure of the areas of the brain associated with emotions.

For a long time we had heard about the benefits of fish oil and some of the claims related to beneficial results in those with Asperger’s Disorder. We would have tried anything but Jess would not swallow tablets up to this point.

Without a word of a lie, we found that within 3 weeks possibly less, that Jess is a changed person. Her temperament is even, she is focussing better, she has color in her cheeks, she has been doing some school homework and for the first time in years, our household is calm and peaceful. What a joy.
