A question for the self diagnosed

This thread is almost the welcome wagon I needed to disappear from this forum for another 3 years. This charade and others like it never end.
Take particular note of the fact that he took his stories to researchers, and they did virtually nothing with them. Anecdotes are useless for science. If he is so high functioning that he may as well be cured, why does he persist to post here with all us disabled folks? He is busy with real life you know, far too busy to document this kind of this with an actual researcher or get a diagnosis, but he'll post these threads all day and tell the blasted story any chance he gets.

I offered to knock on the door of every ASD resource in town, get myself an official diagnosis, spend up to 2 years and $10,000.00 on lab tests and so on for all the evidence you could possibly want
I would like to take you up on that offer please. Having done a lot of reading, much of it based on information you have provided, I can see that this area of research has great potential to help some people alleviate some of their ASD symptoms, though I remain very skeptical about your miraculous transformation, which I think is better explained by something else based on much of the style and content of your writing.
I see nothing wrong with people self diagnosing, but you have set yourself up as the person who has "discovered how to treat what ails us all". That is a big step beyond merely stating that you believe you are on the autism spectrum and to have any sort of credibility you need to have an official confirmation of your diagnosis and proper evidence that your transformation was in fact due to the changes you made to your diet, and not caused by something else.
So please go ahead and do what you offered to do and post the reports on here. Obviously you can redact anything that is too personal to share but the reports need to be from a source that can be checked and verified as legitimate as it would be easy enough to fake such things.
Please note that I am not saying that you are not autistic or that you are a fake, a liar or anything else, but this is the internet and it is full of people who do indeed come up with elaborate stories in order to gain attention for themselves. If you want to have any sort of credibility with regard to the claims you make you need to provide some objective proof. At the moment you are just an anonymous person on the internet making unverifiable claims about yourself and your constant insistence that you are telling "God's truth" simply makes you sound rather desperate.

You see it all very clearly despite having been away from it for a long time. It's quite easy to evaluate at face value.
But there are plenty of legitimate contributors to WP.
Of course what I don't get is way this sort of thing is allowed to continue for years on end. It's just one more thing that takes a toll on WP.

Probably it will be something like she has to go to his house and have dinner with him first.
Then when Sandpiper declines, he will say that he offered and she refused.
But none of this is any kind of charade.

I think it makes it even more clear, you see this crap when you walk out the door, arrive back, look at the metaphorical calendar on the wall and see that nothing has changed, In all fairness I have come back a few times for a couple hours, post once or twice, get fed up and leave. I haven't been on a real WP kick since at least 2015. GF21 isn't why I am back here, people like you, KraftieKortie, BeaArthur, Fnord, ASPartOfMe, B19, etc. etc. etc. are the people I look to for reasonable discussion.

Surely, I don't expect any less.

It’s very simple. If you had achieved what I have, you’d want to share it with others it can help, too.

We've all heard it here already, ten times over. Why don't you buy a billboard, write an editorial, get on your local public access channel, call the television media, or easiest, take this to the rest of the internet, not the small audience you have here on WP. Make a video for YouTube, perhaps. We've all heard this for at least 5 years running.

Of course it's just pure trolling and there isn't anything more to it than that. And I'm a naughty boy for playing along. You usually don't see many trolls like this with this kind of longevity on a moderated forum. There's one other here that got a two week vacation to everyone's surprise. But that's just because he overplayed his hand.
