Not really. Usually they have studied whatever for years and diagnosed and treated hundreds of people. What if you thought you had cancer or whatever. Would you choose to stick with a self diagnosis and concoct a home made treatment? Where do you draw the line at self diagnosis and self treatment?

I've lived 100% of my life like this, I know myself. They can talk to hundreds of patients & still have it equate to only 2nd hand information from other people during a small % of their life. It's incomparable to leaving with AS 24/7, 365. I am confident in my diagnosis.

I draw the line whenever I require someone else' expertise or prescription writing authority. I'm not anti doctor. Whenever I need to see a doctor, I go see one.

That's all still all a subjective and anecdotal conclusion based on a limited knowledge of autism. I'm sure you know that's not how science works. It doesn't hold water as far as you recommending a treatment for autism.

And you say you know yourself, but how come you don't seem to know that you display all kinds of issues here that people keep pointing out to you? When it comes to that you seem to have a poor to nonexistent aptitude when it comes to self awareness self analysis et al.

In sum: there are many causes for autism, which demand many different treatment approaches.

No one treatment will be effective for autism. It is not caused by one type of bacteria, like tuberculosis is.

I'd like a treatment that involves lots of chocolate and masturbating.

I’d like steak and pasta with a woman caressing me. Excellent for my focus!

On a serious note as was just brought up in another thread, always consult your physician before self medicating of any kind and get regular bloodwork done from that point forward. I'm hope the OP followed that route. Taking a lot of A can cause a depletion of B that can be harmful and asymptomatic.

I could not agree more with this, some of the treatment does sound quite aggressive and may cause serious side effects.

Asymptomatic means "without symptoms"

But a lack of symptoms can be harmful because it could very well mean a lack of awareness of a potentially serious problem.

Right. The response to that can easily be I feel better than in my life I'm full of energy perfectly healthy been doing this for years etc. Don't need any damn doctor to tell me what I already know.

That attitude could lead to serious trouble, frankly.

Cancer, somewhat frequently, develops in the absence of overt symptoms. It is picked up, somewhat frequently, through some sort of bloodwork.

When I saw my GP back then, with a copy of Attwood's book in hand, it was pretty much "Yeah.. you're f****d. And annoying af. Sorry 'bout that bud, sweet f**k all I can do for ya unless you want a referral to a shrink."

And the last time I saw him, a few months or so ago, was because I had mostly only seen walk-in clinic doctors as needed for illness over the last few years and my mother was concerned I should have a physical done because I'm 35 years old. I saw him and some student doctor. He asked a few questions and was like "Well, you're healthy. And you're not old enough to need a full physical. Nothing to worry about, keep doing what you're doing." (My twin brother, otoh, is overweight and eats a terrible diet and I'm concerned if he carries on down the same path it'll result in a heart attack in his 40's)

And I disclosed earlier in this thread; I'm not anti-doctor. I go to them as needed. I don't avoid clinics or hospitals etc - but I also don't go to them with every sneeze or sniffle and waste medical resources.

I haven't tried any chocolate & masturbating treatments.. but I have tried plenty of pretty little gay boys, and that medicine seems to work for me, so, I'll continue that course of treatment. :mrgreen:
