| Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, that is really interesting and helpful. Do you mind if I ask some more questions? I do think that some of the information I have read on stigma may be out of date, and things may be changing rapidly, and your reply suggests that may be so. One thing I ... |

Quote: Generational trauma isn’t real.
You seem very certain of that. How can you be sure?
To clarify, I'm not saying people can inherit PTSD. It's more about inheriting epigentic changes that get switched on by PTSD. |

Alternatively, not knowing you are neurodivergent, they were trying to assure you that you are not.

I've put myself on a liquid diet to try and clear up gut issues.
Lots of broth from meat and veggies, some fruit juice, milk.
I hadn't intended including milk but got so hungry.
I think this kind of diet is only OK for 3-5 days max. as it doesn't provide enough nutrients. Bit of a last resort. |

Very sad.
It is a huge problem for those of us on the spectrum that medical professionals may not understand how we present when suffering health issues. |

I looked up about pogroms and we can count those. Displacement due to violence.
It's shocking how much hatred there was towards Jews for such a long time. |

He only gets the right to control his own life when he truly becomes independent. I'm not unsympathetic, I have my adult son living with me and have similar issues wi... |

To try and answer some of your questions: I'm taking this as far back as great-grandparents, the reason for this is that a preliminary study (in mice) indicates that autistic traits triggered by epigenetic changes can be in... |
