For those that believe ASD is Only hard wired/genetic

Post Reply New Topic

I, too, see it in 4 generations. I believe it's in part genetic, but also inherited gut flora as they're passed from mother to child.

Hormones DO play a critical factor and the endocrine system is in play here. I KNOW this is true because of what I learned at the end of last Summer from a fellow beacher - that Vitamin D (a hormone) can only be utilized by the body in conjunction with exposure to UV light. So, over the Winter I dosed myself with Vitamin D & UV, and maintained a far better balance of brain functions than the extremely low light Winter before where I slipped a lot more over the Winter despite my diet/probiotics. Vitamin D is a hormone that acts as an "assist," to dozens of brain/body functions and should not be underestimated in how much if affects ASD symptoms.

Stress - yes - this affects health. But since my overall health is better, my ability to cope with stress is so much better, too.

There ya go. Humans, in general, are just on the cusp of learning just how critical gut health is to overall health and well being and just how much it influences various diagnoses. That's why it's an emerging area of medicine & is being explored by many different research teams right now. It's some pretty exciting stuff!

Self diagnosis via reading, learning, and knowing is just as valid as someone else observing you & telling you what you already know. Those who doubt self diagnosis may as well doubt self diagnosis of everything. Somehow I doubt they would tell someone who's face is on fire that they're not a burn victim until someone with a couple letters after their name tells them so.

I'm still Autistic, too. Never claimed to be otherwise. It's simply that the magnitude of my symptoms has become a very shallow sin wave hovering close to balanced & neutral vs. wildly spiking highs and lows. This is due to balancing gut flora the way that I do.

This entire post is important. Very important. Thank you for sharing your experience despite what others here have to say about this area of medicine, your contribution with this post is very valuable. Not only are you another person who has independently healed yourself via treating/healing your gut issues & experienced dramatically positive results that you want to share with the world, but you've made a very very valuable point for these forums and the communication that goes on here with the bit that I bolded. Others' disbelief and general negativity towards me is very toxic to others like yourself who may be reading and want to contribute, share their story, ask questions, discuss, debate etc but they don't feel comfortable doing so when they read all of the unfounded hate spewed by people who opt not to believe I've been telling them the truth here for the last 5+ years. This may be the single most valuable post in this thread and I hope that the regulars, and even lurkers, read it over & over.

Before anyone asks, assumes, or suggests: leahbear is not my account. leahbear is some other completely different person who's had a similar experience to myself & equally wants to share it with those it could help most, because it is valuable & important. Feel free to confirm with the mods/admins with an IP trace or w/e means you like.

I don't expect everyone to do the same. But it is VERY strange to me that there are tons of people here complaining about the same symptoms ruining their lives & they're unwilling to try things to improve themselves that have worked for others like them. I accept that I cannot make anyone want to improve themselves, they have to do that on their own, but it's still downright bizarre that so very few have been open to learning anything about this vs. carrying on with the same complaints they claim to be "unbearable," but w/e not my life. All in due time, I suppose. More people will come around to this area of medicine and treatment in time, and more will benefit from it when they're ready and want to. I just can't imagine not wanting to, is all, as there is No Way I would go back to the way I was 6 years ago ever, Ever, EVER, since I know I have a choice.

Upbringings affect children. Trauma causes PTSD etc. But I don't believe that parenting results in ASD symptoms. That's just me, though, as I'm a more firm believer in hard science cause & effect than "ASD is caused by parents not teaching their children how to behave socially," or anything like that. Social impairments are due to brains/bodies not functioning properly, not because they weren't taught things. IMO.

No. It is how you know you're in The Matrix, though.

I've shared this link before, but watch this documentary episode of "The Nature of Things," called "The Autism Enigma," from 2016. I'm far from the only ASD person on the planet to experience relief of ASD symptoms via probiotics.

Well I hope Trinity wakes me up soon

Pssst, Trinity is Billions of colony forming units worth of a blend of 3 different probiotic bacteria strains.*

*I actually use a blend of 8 strains, iirc.

Goldfish......I appreciate your informative posts. I get what you are saying. Keep on doing what is working.☺☺☺☺☺ glad to see you back around.

Re-read what I wrote: I didn't say its "just" parenting. I said its an interplay of parenting and biology. In other words, a parenting can't turn an aspie into NT, but it can help an aspie have better social skills, as an aspie, or not. Same goes for helping NT have better social skills as NT, or not.

Missed that. Read it as a nurture theory post when I was rapidly replying to post earlier in the day.

Thank you for that.

All of them.



That doesn't make you qualified in any way. The others whom you know nothing about have firmly established identities.They have websites and publications with all their info and testimonials from diagnosed autistics regarding how well their treatment methods work.

You are just an anonymous undiagnosed person on a relatively obscure discussion forum, who has a history of like a 95% negative feedback from numerous members.

I learn and do this and share it freely and you call me a snake oil salesman despite the fact that I’ve never offered anything for sale. Now you try to discredit the truth that I share because I didn’t create a website and write a book and try to monetize it. Lol ridiculous.

I never called you a snake oil salesman. You're the one who constantly uses that term regarding yourself. What I call you, based on my fairly extensive knowledge of autism treatments, is someone who is rather under-qualified in my learned opinion.

You ramble on and on for years saying the same thing the same way hoping for different results than what appears to be a 95% rejection history here. In 5 years you haven't gotten a single person to try your probiotics up the rectum treatments. The fact that you can't even give it away for free, says a lot about it.
