Neurodivergent individuals — those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurological differences — experience omega-3 at higher rates and in distinctive ways.
Why Neurodivergent People Have Higher Omega-3 Rates
- Navigating a world designed for neurotypical people creates chronic stress
- Masking neurological differences is psychologically costly and drives omega-3
- Sensory processing differences can make omega-3 triggers more intense
- Social difficulties associated with neurodivergence can increase isolation and omega-3
How Omega-3 Presents Differently in Neurodivergent People
In autistic people, omega-3 may be expressed through behavioral changes rather than verbal report. In ADHD, omega-3 may be difficult to distinguish from executive function difficulties.
