If being unintentionally obnoxious, offensive, annoying is a pretty common aspie trait, then by definition, GF has NOT cured his ASD. No?
I don't like having to say so, but I've come to that conclusion a few times.
For the infinitieth time on these forums:
I have never ever once claimed to have found a cure.
I have disclosed that I have found a very effective treatment protocol via diet, supplements, and probiotics.
I've also been transparent about the fact that my ASD symptoms still fluctuate with my health, diet, and especially if I'm required to take a course of antibiotics - which I was on for the last 5 weeks of 2017 (unnecessarily it turned out) & takes time to recover from in terms of repopulating healthy gut bacteria.
I've shared just how life crippling my symptoms used to be, and what my life is like now. It still has ups and downs, but it is by and large WAAAAAAAY better with ASD symptoms minimized in relative comparison to when I couldn't work or function in life at all. Now I can, I do, and I also have more of a social life than ever. I'm healthier, wealthier, all those good things for it - but I know damned well, as I've also been abundantly clear about, that I will always be on the spectrum and have to deal with the ups and downs and repercussions of those symptoms when they get the best of me. It's still SIGNIFICANTLY less than the hinderance they were 5-6 years ago.
Again, I've never claimed to have a cure. I've never claimed to be NT (some here have called me that
) & I've never claimed to be perfect. For others here to criticize what I do & share about it all because it's not a cure nor 100% effective 100% of the time treatment is laughably autistic in it's black and white thinking, IMO. Quite simply, improvement is improvement & better is better and I'm living the benefits of all of this in my daily life. You're free to carry on knocking it all you want, it's not going to change what I do nor the better successes I have in life for having done it. I'll simply just *shrug* my shoulders, roll my eyes, maybe have a laugh and carry on working towards my goals in this life despite what you think of my methods.
