I'm a little confused about all the fish oil information because I distinctly remember friends and their children having trouble with fish oil exacerbating tics and restlessness.

Someone on one of my autism forums asked about fish oils recently. There was a lot in the news last year here where I live regarding a study that had been done for ADHD (NOT TS). I think she did it in conjuction with people in England who had done the so-called Oxford study. I'll go look to try to find what was asked. I think the Aus. study used combination oils in a particular ratio.

"“Children in the study were given combined fish/primrose oil capsules or placebo oil capsules."

I swear they said the ratio they used somewhere but can't find it.

Here is the original article that had sparked the conversation about the fish oils etc..

Basically this story is about something called Omegaven which was being used for children who had a particular medical illness called short bowel syndrome who have major absorption problems and were getting serious liver damage from some of their other previous treatments. They found that this Omegaven helped the liver.
