Did you know there are some herbal supplements for autism? More than 3.5 million Americans live with an autism spectrum disorder. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability. Autism in children has increased 119.4 percent since 2000. The common symptoms of autism are speech delay, lack of interest in playing with toys or “pretend play”, limited social skills, atypical behaviors (i.e. tapping on walls), and repetitive behaviors, such as arm flapping. In addition, sensitivity to sounds, smells, tastes, and/or touch, becoming upset or “shutting down” if there is a change in routine, not making eye contact, often repeating words and phrases, and being unaware of boundaries and “space” of others. If someone you know is affected, try the following herbal supplements for autism with a doctor's approval.
