I’m so excited !!! Hey guys - Affter reading Bluebird's post on Rhosyn's thread http://www.autism-pdd.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23969&am p;PN=1, I just had to share this with everyone: It's been about 2 weeks since I started my non-verbal son on Cod Liver Oil (Brand: Carlson for Kids from Whole Foods). About a week after starting it, I noticed his eye contact & attention span went from practically zero to looking steadily at me until I go through an entire song. I was afraid to get excited thinking it may be a fluke but it's happening every day and quite a number of times a day & even his therapist commented that he was making sustained eye contact (I had not told her about it). As I was trying to explain to a friend who wasn't too impressed, being able to hold his attention is so BASIC and FUNDAMENTAL to the learning process! Anyway, I'm so THRILLED that it's not just my imagination & there is a study showing Fish Oil really works! Looks like Rhosyn is also having great success with it & I hope many of you give it a try. Fish Oil Rocks! I'll jump on the bandwagon...fish oil rocks.  Next I'll be trying magnesium on myself and Jacob to see if it helps with our anxiety issues...I've heard good things and I'm going to try it out soon.Congratulations and please let us know what happens when you try it.   We noticed the same thing here..she started looking up at sounds & when someone was at the door ringing the bell..she had never done that before and her eye gaze was longer and more intent on actually looking at us:) Keep it up!
