*shrug* As we finally established in another read, you choose not to believe me because what I do involves gross science. It doesn't change any of the material facts nor truth of the matter. It is what it is. I never WANTED what I learned to lead to this, but it did. I'd much prefer there were a pressure point on the back of my hand that I could squeeze and get the same results. But there isn't & this is where everything led to over 5 years ago and I'll continue doing my thing, because it works, and I'll carry on with my life of work/play/socializing & pursuing my goals. I'll remain an open book about it all regardless of whether you believe me or not. Like I pointed out earlier in this thread, scientific research is catching up to what I shared here on these forums 5 years ago, looking at the intestines as a root cause of ASD, and probiotics as a therapy method. Eventually everything will be explained and it'll no longer be any mystery how what I do works. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the life changing benefits of it.



There's no logical reason for me to disbelieve you. As in you are intentionally making things up or outright lying.

I just know of several better sounding treatments which have many more than just one person's testimonial regarding effectiveness.

As you have said, you don't know anything about any other treatments. Therefore to you, the treatment you developed for yourself, is the only teartment that exists.

You say that you would prefer a treatment that is less arduous and wasn't gross, but you've never bothered to look into other treatments for aspergers, so you do not know if there's a better easier non-gross method or not.

And you don't even know if you have aspergers. You just come to the conclusion that you have aspergers based on personal reaserch.

Do you know of all the other conditions that have similar traits/symptoms of aspergers? Or do you not know anything about those the same as you do not know anything about other aspergers treatments?

How many threads have you made about your personal treatment mode so far? I think there are quite a number, and it does become repetitious for members. It has for me, anyway.


There are many. Plus threads that were hijacked. I figure if all of goldfish21's posts about it, all over WP, were put into a single thread, it would be at least 30 pages long.

I display the most symptoms of autism before I have coffee.

Probably more like 3,000 pages....I've seen single threads which get into the 30s.

Goldfish is not a bad guy. I find that he boasts a little too much at times, though.

I, for one, can't help it that I'm not 6 foot 2; I suppose I could lose a little weight, though.

Sometimes, I boast too much, too. When this happens, the image I portray is damaged somewhat.

I hope Goldfish does research into other methods of treatment-----for all types of autism.

In sum, I don't find him to be a bad guy. I just feel he sometimes doesn't value people who he sees as being "less" than him.

Tooting one's own horn is somewhat akin to "crying wolf."

There are numerous problems in the way goldfish presents himself, which makes everyone unwilling to consider trying his home-made treatment.

He's definitely an intelligent guy.

Sometimes, I place myself too high on a pedestal----and, as a result, I get knocked down from it.

Not to say that I wish he would get knocked down from any pedestal. But he'd be an even more valued member if he considered his audience. He's valued at least somewhat already.

He has to realize that even though people don't SEEM to be trying----that they are actually trying....really hard.

I think I'd like him even more if he would get us all a discount on those Goldfish in the supermarket.....

They're just not doing things his way. Which is the only way he knows of.

I myself went from level 3 severe to level 2 moderate. All of which has official observation and diagnosis documentation. And I continue to progress, all without having used the goldfish method.

You progressed because everybody allowed you to flourish. They didn't inundate you with treatments. The person was valued, more than the treatment.

Many times, things like ABA emphasize the treatment over the person. That's problematic.

Do you find that was true?

I've have a great deal of occupational therapy which I believe has been crucial. What the difference is between the OT I have received and ABA, I don't know for sure. And having a nurturing supporting family has been crucial as well. I believe there needs to be a balance between the two. With nurturing being foremost.

I'm not there yet. If passing a math exam is required, then I'm toast.

If you don’t pass, they’ll probably put you in remedial math classes.

Many people have to take remedial courses. It’s not a rare thing.

I've had remedial math. Hasn't helped. I have dyscalculia.

Do you have an idea about what you want to major in?
