Brain food for autism

Do not take this as a means to cure autism. It is mearly another health and wellness idea in hopes of enhancing communication for autistic individuals. I've found, through working with some of our students, that many suffer from poor diet and nutrition. Most of their breakfast are loaded with sugar, unhealthy fats, and loaded carbs as opposed to high protein. Unfortunately, we're not eliminating these high sugar foods due to affordability. However, it is a work in progress which we are trying to overcome.

Eat oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, at least twice a week, and seeds, such as flaxseeds (also called linseeds) and chia seeds, on most days. Furthermore, supplement omega 3 through fish oil or a vegan alternative. Look for a supplement that contains both EPA and DHA.
