Accoring to PETA apergers is caused by meat...
^ Chances are then, he is not eating a balanced diet. If you are a vegetarian or vegan you have to be careful that you are getting enough iron, B12, vitamin D and calcium. That involves eating in a certain way. There is no point in becoming a vegetarian if you are going to eat junk food. And, there are many vegetarian sugary, or fatty foods .

A lot of veggies I met look like anaemic waifs. I think I'll stick with being an omnivore and eat a balanced diet.
PETA are weirdos, they mean well but their members ruin it for them. Some things I've read make sense, like being against animal circuses and that. But most of the time they just take it to ridiculous extremes. It seems you can't swat a fly without them bawwwwing over it. And what amuses me is how they make animals out to be sweet, innocent flowers that are perfect in every way and humans (yeah I know we're animals but I'm not going into pedant mode just now) are all evil and bad because *GASP* we eat animals and all that stuff. But fail to realise the "animal" world is pretty brutal, for example more capuchin monkeys are killed by each other than by any predator. And we are part of that world as well, so I shall enjoy my sausages guilt free thankyouverymuch.

Well, I can tell you I dont look like an anaemic waif. I am quite plump. And, I dont know much about Peta but that image is not what the average vegetarian/vegan is like. Yes the animal world is pretty brutal, in fact the entire world is. But it is nice to reduce the brutality in any way that you can. But I guess a few years ago I was a full omnivore myself, so I see your point of view.

He may not be getting enough b vitamins--especially B6 and B12--and depending on his age, he may not be getting enough fat. Teens and young men need more fat than older men. You may want to suggest he takes B vitamin supplements and Flax seed oil supplements. Also, people on the spectrum often have allergies, so if he's eating foods he's allergic to--soy, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts are common ones--that could be making his health a lot worse. I have an allergy doctor check him out. Also have him checked for anemia.
I can't function without a high protein diet with the right balance of fats and I have several allergies to vegetable proteins, including soy, corn, tree nuts, so I have to eat meat. I take B vitamins to make sure i get enough, plus flax see oil 2 or 3 times a day with meals. I also need lots of fruits and veggies, with a small amount of diary. The one food group I can live easily without is grains, including breads and pasta, I just don't digest them well and they wreak havoc on my blood sugar levels. They are tasty though. But I can live without them.
He wasn't a Aspie either. Why do I keep seeing that nonsense around WP? How many Aspies do you know decide, as revenge against the world not appreciating your talents as an artist, decide to anoint themselves leader of a political movement, send troops of weak-minded follower out to bully/brutalize others and take over their countries? Yeah, exactly. NONE. We get the blow off by our art teacher, what do we do? We go whine about on WP but we don''t go try to take over the world and gather drunken mobs of Brownshirts around us. That he didn't like to draw people in his art, that's not exclusive to Asperger's or autism--he could have any one of several personality disorders or be on the schizophrenia spectrum. Or he could have just sucked really bad at drawing people. But you can't take one or two Aspie-ish quirks and then ignore all the traits that would negate Asperger's. And Hitler's need to have excessive power and his craving for respect from society are far more defining of him than not being able to draw humans in his artwork.
Jesus, I swear,, people here either are very ignorant about Asperger's and they just don't use their heads.
I personnaly don't think he's autistic.
I wrote "SUSPECTED", and only because there is a kind of (wrong) collectif belief that he was autistic.

Yeah, I know most veggies and vegans aren't like peta fanatics. Yet peta fanatics make the rest look like that.

yep they need to ensure that every lion, tiger, bear, shark, cheetah, wolf, coyote, and every other preditor eats a completely vegitarian diet so they wont get autism

I perfer the ALF personaly. They actualy get out and do things while Peta just keeps making a bad name for the animal rights movement. Peta has got a lot of lot of people to stop testing on animals and sometimes scare tactics are the ony way to get people to realise what is going on because most people don't usualy care but this campain is just more anti autism propoganda. They should say it causes things like obesity and high colestrol....which it does. I was vegan for a while and was still autistic, explain that one, Peta.

Hitler was most likely a vegetarian, in fact the only ones that seem to deny it appear to be vegetarianism advocates that are too afraid of people using Reductio ad Hitlerum on them...

Just like any successful vegetarian.

So just becuase Hitler did or didn't do something, we should not do it or do it. Hitler also owned a German Shepard named Blondie (that's where the 80's group got their name). Should we stop owning German Shepards or naming our pets Blondie? Should we stop owning dogs all together. Hitler also liked wolves. Should we stop being intrested in wolves? Hitler was from Germany? Should Germans give up thier heritage?
Ghandi was a vegetarian and there is evidence to support Jesus was as well.
