There's research and everything saying that fish oil helps children with autism, but it also contains mercury which is not good for them. It sounds contradictory.
 
i think that it might be fine my brother takes meds for like bipolar and adhd... and his dr just said he couldl take fish oil tablets... but who knows it may be diff for you... ask the dr they should tell you right away!
 
Mercury, like ALL other elements have differing types (has something to do with isotopes...only half remember that from chemistry).

The type found in fish is different than the type found in injection preservatives.

Also, a lot research done has found there is no "detectable" amounts of mercury in fish oil, mainly because the mercury is not soluble in oil itself.
