Diet

Anybody know of a diet that helps with their AS?

My mom looked stuff up for me and found some dietary supplements that help a lot, but I was wondering if there was a specific type of diet that I should shoot for.

the supplements are:

L-Tyrosine
Multivitamin, with saw-palmetto, lycopene, lutien, blah blah (its called adam, from NOW)

I heard dairy and certain meats can hurt an aspie. I'm still such a carnivore regardless.

Where can you get these supplements though? It sure sounds interesting...

How can dairy and meat hurt?

Well, meat hurts the cow but I hear the dairy makes them feel really good.

No there is close to no science on diet and ASD. There seems to be alittle science
on fish oil and perhaps high EPA to DHA ratio fish oil being usefull for a number of
mental issues.

I guess the logic on Tyrosine would be it could increase attention. Like a mild
anti-ADHD drug. It might boost mood too but I would not expect alot.

Yeah I take a multivitamin. If your like me you eat a poor diet and you need to take
a multivitamin.

I would expect that an Aspie would get more benefit from a healthy, balanced diet than from any of the fad theories out there that the quacks insist will "cure autism".
