I've heard that if you don't need Gingko it may give you a headache, because of the increased blood flow. I've never tried it but I guess if you can tell if your child is experiencing a problem than you would know not to continue...my son is non-verbal. Let us know what you find.

: Has anyone tried gingko biloba with their autistic children? I am contemplating doing so. Autistics are said to have reduced blood flow in their brains. Gingko supposedly increases cerebral blood circulation. Also, my son hums constantly. Some theorys are that the humming is caused by ringing in their ears, something that gingko is also supposed to remedy. I would appreciate any feedback.
