    Interestingly, a recent double-blind study by Amminger et al. (7) found that omega-3 FA supplements were superior to placebo for reducing hyperactivity and stereotypy in autistic children. However, there were significant shortcomings in this study including the small sample size (n = 12), the large baseline differences between patients with autism and controls, the fluctuating nature of the outcomes, and problems inherent in the effect sizes (8). To our knowledge, there are no published data on the efficacy of omega-3 FA supplementation in young adults with severe autism.
