Is there any good vitamins out there for Autism and what are they?

I'm not particularly sure what vitamins are best. My cousin is autistic and tends to refrain from eating certain foods, including wheat and meals with a high sugar content. I'm sure that didn't help you much :). Perhaps speaking to a medical professional in that area would provide you with more assistance.
Good luck! :D

I use vitamins for my kids from Nature's Sunshine. While they are not particularly good for Autism they are easy to give to kids because they taste good:

My oldest child has symptoms of autism and we just got a very interesting program that was designed by someone who had suffered with autism as a child. The program is cds you listen to at night to help the brain function better. Here's a link:

It's amazing - we have noticed a difference in just a few days.
Of course the gluten free, casein free diet is very popular, as is the chelation therapy - removing excess minerals and toxins. DHA is also thought to be very helpful - its a fish oil that helps the brain. I have found these with a strawberry coating for kids - my kids love them.
Peace!
PS - I also want to add that B vitamins seem very important. My child is on a lot of Panothenic Acid for these symptoms too.
PPS - I just heard today that it is a hormonal issue, why autism is more prevalent in Males than Females. I am going to look into some Yam Cream (natural plant based progesterone) to see if that can help her. Every female can benefit from Yam cream - let me know if you are interested in this sort of thing and I will keep you posted on what I find out.
Peace!

I truly wish that I knew the answer to that. My 2 boys are autistic and if I knew of a vitamin that would supplement their picky appetite I would certainly try itm although I would have to get creative in disguising it. If you learn anything of interest I would love to hear from you.

I have heard that dimethylglycine is supposed to be helpful.
One short search about it brought up :

At least worth doing some more research:)
