| It's apparent that making this thread was a waste. Why? :? There's only so much people can describe a feeling for you. The best way to know what a hug feels like is to experience one. Go hug someone/get a hug, then you'll know for yourself. I got & gave a lot of hugs on Christmas eve and day. S... |

| This is utterly and completely ridiculous. Listen to the presentation. It's not focused AT ALL on the 50% ASD babies by 2025 statement. It's focused on the biochemical causes of the gut-brain issues that create the perfect storm for ASD symptoms via the cumulative compound effect of toxins, pathoge... |

| Oh for the love of, it's not always the goddamn gut bacteria that determines if someone is on the spectrum. Plus, this woman is a computer scientist, what does she know about Autism? That's like me knowing about farming when I'm a tech guy. This reminds me of how people say how many things give you... |

There's an awful lot of good info in it about the various chemicals that affect gut bacteria & brain function. Yes, there's al... |

| I hope I can hold down a job one day. The ASD helps me to understand myself better. But - let's face it - there probably isn't a huge market for depressed, autistic 40-somethings who haven't had a job for about 20 years. I'll wait and see how getting a place of my own goes first of all (I'm getting... |

| I use slang, but I definitely have the ASD traits of having a formal vocabulary and articulate speech. Sometimes people ask me what my parents do for a living as they're expecting to hear doctor/lawyer/engineer/accountant etc - some sort of professional job - all due to the way I speak. It's rarely ... |

| Hug FYI's: The hedgiest person I know is also on the spectrum. He hugs his family, friends, coworkers, regular customers at work etc. He once told me that I give the best hugs. I take that as a huge compliment seeing as he's a very very experienced hug giver/receiver. So, there you have it, if you w... |
