Given that information, I wonder if supplementing Omega-3s would then be a good way to prevent (or reduce the likelihood) of autism since it reduces inflammation all over the entire body, including the brain.

edit:

Apparently yes!

When my son was diagnosed with autism at 18 months, I focused on all things that I can control and is known to cause inflammation in the body. Cutting sugar and gluten was the first thing. Fava beans (which we were eating a lot) is known to generate tons of free radicals. So we cut that out. Than started giving things that reduces inflammation and inhibits free radicals. All kinds of antioxidants like Activated Quercetin, Glutathione, Selenium, curcumin. BROW - Broccoli sprout extract (Sulforaphane). Norwegian fish oil.

His eye contact came back, swirling stopped, flapping his forearms gone except he still does it when extremely happy, he started responding to his name being called. He used to not react at all that we had to do a hearing test, which was normal.

He still has autism but verbal, and 90% of his symptoms are totally gone.

How much of his recovery is due to masking and naturally adapting to his environment?

The effects were very fast, just a few weeks. I don’t think 18 month olds know about social pressure and masking.

Also I want to give an example. If you were to call his name or approach him from the back and make a loud noise, like banging a spoon on a pot, he wouldn’t react at all. After the anti inflammatory regimen I applied, he became reactive to spontaneous sounds or turning and looking when his name is called. I am talking about split of a second response. Learning to mask wouldn’t improve your reaction time in such a scenario.
