| There is apparently some link between a non-celiac gluten issue, schizophrenia and autism. This may be why the two get mixed up in diagnosis? I read several articles about it the other day. Have any of you tried a gluten free diet (in a serious way) to see if it helped? I like history and I remember... |

| Well I did not make a cake yet, but I did make some gluten free bread this evening. It was an experiment to see if I could make something more palatable than store-bought from my usual wheat bread recipe? (puts some out to share) It's still kinda dense but it's more like a normal whole grain bread. ... |

| Hi Omid, I see at the bottom of your post that you were previously diagnosed by an autism specialist, but then after he left other docs diagnosed you schizophrenic, but without a thinking disorder...no delusions, no hallucinations? Is that right? We have been reading and discussing schizoaffective (... |

| Wow that was a tough day Spider, and yes we can be too trusting. I'm glad you made it through and learned a thing or two. Me too lately. Mostly when I cry I just get tear up and stop. Once in awhile I'll really have a real cry, only around safe people or when nobody else is around. Not that I cried ... |

| I am/was trainer and I should re-up my licensing. I let it go for awhile. I agree with Kaelynn, on most things. I've always been told to train for 3 tasks to help with. A good one is if you take medications, for the dog to alert to a timer. I have both of mine trained to eat when the timer goes off,... |

I was sent a box of pictures from my childhood (and my sister's) and when I went to add photos and some old stuff to forward with them to my sister, I found my old wooden yoyo.  I thought it was long gone. |

I tend to lie and keep secrets "for the right reasons"...to keep a surprise party a surprise, to keep medical info pri... |

Your google search phrase did a good job. ;) I got concise information on both subjects that way and I'll be reading more. I found my coping mecha... |

Is anybody interested in advice from a calligrapher on the spectrum? I have taught it to kids and adults for years and have a little bit of a system going.

It might be a normal dose for somebody not on the Spectrum but maybe not for me...that was a great warning f... |

The distinction given from the "Snakes in Suits" book is probably the best working definition I've seen yet, and I think I have been need... |
