Lol nope.

It's basically a nervous system defect. Once those grow in, they're fukking immutable and set.

I went down a rabbit hole one night about root causes of autism, because I wanted to know why it was so correlated with transsexualism. No MarioMami.

It turns out that autistic dudes all tend to have the same faces, or the same look about them. The giveaways are large foreheads and eyes too far apart/10. A machine learning algorithm trained on autists could diagnose other autists with like 90% accuracy just by looking at a picture of their face.

So anyway, your face is tied in with a bunch of cranial nerves, and both are developed by like 3rd trimester in the womb. By then the tism is just set. Those fukked up nerves have grown in, and they can never regenerate or re-grow, so the damage is permanent.

Cliffs: all autists have the same face.




Cliffs of cliffs: in the words of St. Hamudi, it wasn't over when you were born, it was over before you were born.

The only alternative ideas I've run across for helping autism is spending more time outdoors in the sun, and diets like the GAP diet. Being outdoors in the sun, was a Dr. Cannel idea. (I think that is his name) He had a news letter in which parents would write him about how being in the sun to increase vitamin D would helped improve their kids autism symptoms. Today most Americans spend little time outdoors, away from the sun.

the GAP diet, based upon the SCD diet, was started by a doctor in the UK who has kids with autism. She started the diet in hopes of helping her kids. I believe the diet idea was to improve stomach problems all to often reported by those with autism. The basic idea being if the stomach can be improved so will the autism symptoms. The GAP diet has it's supporters.

I don't think so. I have Asperger's but thankfully I am high functioning. I've been in social jobs my entire life and I've never truly adapted. I can mask quite well but it always feels like a chore. I can't ever be my true self around people they just don't get it which is fine, I understand. There is a disconnect, that I don't think can ever truly be overcome. It was an issue I could overcome early on but honestly the further I get into adulthood the harder it gets. The behaviour/lifestyle that people associate with being a 'mature' adult is actually quite hard to engage in (Full time work, forming deeper relationships, dating/marriage and raising kids) for me. It feels like I'm built for a different game entirely.

With that said I think there are certain behaviours that can make it worse. If for example I go extended periods without socialising I do notice its much harder to hide the tism.

A lot of Autistic people have been through so much social ridicule that they just mask their Autism harder. That comes at the cost of their general health and wellbeing though.

I can keep posting such links all day,

But…

You morons already made up your mind, so… nothing will get thru your thick skull.
Why are you acting out? Only one person ITT asked you to provide the links lol.

It's appreciated btw, but the condescension really isn't justified.

Sadly keto is not the solution to everything. But it’s hard to deny that limiting sugar and refined carbs in favor of healthy organic fats and protein sources is obviously beneficial for a wide variety of issues.

I also provided pubmed as proof in human trials.

What would that be?

Do you think everyone who stops eating sugar eats the same unhealthy diet that causes them to have gas or something?

I originally posted obvious correct answer in the very first response post of the thread.

It was met predictably with total dismissal. I was then responding to the retards with pubmed links. I didn’t start this. I was polite at first …

Thread cliffs so far:

- op asks what is 2+2
- first response answers 4
- following responses dismiss the answer and demand links to studies
- links are provided
- the rest of responses continue to state that we dont know what 2+2 is, and that nothing can be done about it, and that we can never know, it was over before you were born! You didn’t know what 2+2 is when you were a fetus or an infant! So it means we dont know, and that’s it!

You are all over the place.

I'm bad at math, don't know anything about military stuff, was wrong about masks...I'm sure there is more.

I've read a good bit about psychology and neurodivergence due to family history/personal experience. I've got ADD right in my signature and I've been formally diagnosed twice...meaning that expensive hours long interview/test thing. And I've spent some time on forums/support groups for ND type people.

That's all. It isn't complicated.

A few more for those of you who are apparently unaware of Google.

Inb4 more responses how nothing can be done about autism, and how keto is bad etc. because PhD Layne Norton puts two cans of monster in front of him when he gets destroyed by a carnivore guy in a debate, and Layne said keto bad.

Your answer was helpful, but was not obvious or correct (in the context of the thread title). The links you posted are things that improve overall cognition in Autistic people, but far from a cure.

However they will

-Still struggle interacting with Neurotypicals socially
-Still be prone to meltdowns
-Still have sensory sensitivity
-Still have trouble with eye contact
-Some are nonverbal. Keto will not cure that.
-Not a "cure" for Autism

I can go on, but it really seems like you're upset that no one patted you on the back for your answer.

Not at all, I’m just laughing at the retards, since Joe Biden and Pfizer did not tell them that anything can be done about autism they will claim that nothing can be done about autism, and I find that funny, not even mad.

Dr. Pucci or PhD Layne Norton say tomorrow that autism can be helped by obvious things like improving your diet, and suddenly the sheep will change their tune and begin mouthing off about how there are helpful solutions.

There are always deniers.

- provide links!!
*provided*
- those links are not enough!!
*more links provided and ignored*

- What are your sources!!!!???1111

- you are appealing to authority!!!!1111

There have been quite a number of peer reviewed human studies that now confirm something reasonable people have always known just based on logic and common sense: intermittent fasting, low sugar low carbohydrate diet, supplementing with specific vitamins and numerous other herbs, including certain healthy fats in the diet, increasing the quality of the food from processed garbage to organic, all of these things actually reduce symptoms and improve quality of life of people with autism.
Losers let it happen, winners make it happen.

I wont comment on what people have said here.

But my son is high functioning in the autism spectrum.

There is no cure for autism.

There are however things you can do help people function.

Also, I don’t know if you guys respect the Huberman podcast and his guests, but there was a lot of stuff there about how sulforaphane is effective against autism, so basically broccoli sprouts and so on. Ronda Patrick basically masturbates to that stuff all day.

Supposedly a certain protein called nrf2 which fights autism and other conditions is inhibited by sugar and medications, but is activated by sulforaphane and other standard vitamin and herbs supplements.

I definitely see a lot of autism in our area because there are a lot of computer nerds and Moms who give birth around the age of 40. Many are in their early to mid-40s, actually.

Something else to consider, when mothers to be are pregnant their OB will tell them if bloodwork shows thiamine, a.k.a. B1 deficiency, since there is some research showing connection between that and autism as well as SIDS.

and what would cause the deficiency, and how to fix it? It’s all the usual stuff yet again, high sugar diets alcohol and so on cause the deficiency, while things like pork, pecans, and supplementation, should fix the deficiency.

The above is something that mainstream OB would tell women in big hospitals, it’s not some kind of a Internet or YouTube expert BS, so logically we should look at the diet and supplementation once someone is already born as well, the deficiency is very common, and also leads to sleep apnea and other issues.
