A question for the self diagnosed

Post Reply New Topic

Unfortunately if it were that easy, there wouldn't be any.

And that is precisely why I tolerate the negativity from a select few here; because what I’ve learned and done IS that important. I used the phrase “Miraculous results,” 5 years ago when I shared what I’d done & I stand by it today as I continue living this second life that I am.

Despite his best efforts, EzraS cannot stop this train, as it is far bigger than a debate between him and I. Scientists and doctors are making rapid progress in proving everything I already know, and eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later, it will help Millions of people.

As long as there’s much corroboration for the notion, beyond something which should be considered for “future study,” the train will not stop.

For this to occur, this “future study” must yield corroborating results. Until then, the train remains stuck at the station.

Take heart: at least the train hasn’t been relegated to the yard.

It's amazing they let teenagers post to WP at all, considering how brainless they are.

Can you believe they made Kiprobalhato a moderator when he was only 17? WTF were they thinking?

But you know what's even worse than that? They asked me if I was interested in becoming a mod a year or two ago.

Not from a select few. From a large majority.

I'm not interested in stopping the science train. I'm just pointing out that you've been spamming the same word for word stuff over and over ad infinitum in one locked thread after another for years and years.

One can view each of those as a train wreck.

I always felt like the oddball, I always was attracted to the weird ones and this is how I attracted aspie guys in my life. And because I wanted to be supportive, I wanted to understand them I started researching autism and it was like I was reading about myself so I started suspecting something was up. But about 2 years ago I started researching about my odd quirks, I went to work at an autism support centre and the training was an eyeopener, also the service users, the odd little things they did. Just like me.
It was an explanation why I am "not normal"

And a bit later I had an epiphany that I possibly have BPD too. This comb explained everything in my life.
I got in touch with a psychiatrist, my brother's friend, and at the end, after a lot of tests and talks he gave me a diagnosis- Asperger and mild BPD

So basically I think you just know when something is up.

^^^I feel the above is true in many cases.

A professional diagnosis of (especially) high-functioning autism, while not exactly objective, does serve its official purposes.

One should not disregard those who arrived at a "self-diagnosis."

But a "self-diagnosis," when it comes, say, to a claim of success of one particular treatment method for something that the self-diagnoser was "diagnosed" with, does not carry as much credibility as a claim of success of this treatment method within one officially diagnosed.

One cannot be objective about oneself. That pretty much sums this issue up in a short sentence.

No. There’s a big difference and you know it. Others are complaining about ASD problems. I’m sharing solutions.

And of the many times I’ve asked you to explain what your problem is with me, the only thing you’ve managed to articulate is a parroting of Raleigh’s criticism that I am not someone who I’ve never claimed to be - an NT self help author/motivational speaker/marketing guru.

*shrug*

I accept that I am an Autistic man with an Autistic personality & don’t feel even the slightest bit bad about not being Tony Robbins or whoever you expect me to be.

The issue is, you have but one solution, to what research has pointed to be a multifaceted issue. These threads are like an answering machine outgoing message loop tape being played in a regular compact cassette deck, the same thing over and over again. It would be no different if I made countless threads rambling about Bell System history and dragged the subject into other's threads, too.

At the same time as all those studies came out advancing your theory, many studies have pushed genetics as being important to whether one develops autism. Some others cite specific or sometimes nonspecific pollutant chemicals. Most researchers now believe there is not one cause. It appears that any connection to gut dysbiosis is as a co-morbid condition not as "the problem" as you put it in your signature.

Next questions:

Why do some of you think that the forum rules do not apply when addressing me? Why do you think it’s acceptable to call me a liar, actor, troll etc? These are clearly intended as insults and personal attacks - neither of which I’m returning in your direction. Are you incapable of civil discussion or debate without name calling? Would you actually prefer I start clicking the “report,” button every time you post an insult or personal attack towards me? I know you’re autistic and don’t fully comprehend social etiquette, but these are very basic principals of civility and it is possible to disagree with me without being so rude about it.

@RichardJ:

I have Never said that it applies to Everyone on the spectrum. I have maintained that it applies to the 70% of us that are sensitive to salicylate acids, which is caused by gut dysbiosis perforating the intestinal lining.

70% is still a big number, though. An overwhelming majority. And that’s a lot of people on the spectrum that this can eventually help.

Thanks redrobin62. Most of those links & Dr’s names I don’t recognize, so I have some reading/skimming to do later to see if there’s any new to me info in them.

I’m sure others here will suggest that I personally wrote all of those articles just to perpetuate my lifelong hoax. But in reality I’m glad to see that more and more researchers are giving this the closer look it deserves.

I don't see how you would settle for a "self diagnose" if you have any actual problems because you would have no resources, you'd have the same demands on you as an NT and risk getting burned out because of that as well as misunderstood by everyone your whole life. People would never know why you are the way you are and might therefore think you're acting rude on purpose. That said you can suspect if before you are able to go see a psychologist, as both I and my family did, but a suspicision is not a confirmed diagnose.

There are NT introverts who share traits that us on the autism spectrum have so I don't see how you could know for sure without talking to a professional first. Then again to some the cost of getting an official diagnosis for example could stop them from being able to get it and in those cases I understand self diagnosis unless you are capable of saving up money for it. It helps a lot to have a diagnose on paper though so I don't know why you would choose not to.
