Aspergers an ilness?

Post Reply New Topic

Our brains don't function like normal, correct, but you're assuming that it's the brain itself that's abnormal and I now believe that's incorrect.

It's not necessarily always congenital. Point in case that you can likely relate to: symptoms fluctuate. Sometimes throughout my life they've been very mild, others very strong. There's something that causes this effect. It's not just by magic that this happens. I believe that if others' Autism is caused by the same root cause, that it's entirely possible to take an NT person and induce Autism in them. *There may be a genetic component, so this root cause my not cause Autism in everyone who suffers from it, but this cause + genetic predisposition likely equals Autism.

I'm not deluding myself. My mental & physical symptoms have been reduced by well over 95% and I'm happier and healthier all around than I have been in my entire 31 years of life, and still improving by the day. A myriad of brain functions are operating much more optimally than ever. During times things were very bad, I had nearly every single symptom listed in Tony Attwood's Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome.. now? Not so much.

Again, I don't want anyone here to take my word for it. I'd prefer everyone was skeptical and reads what I have to share and then decide to try it for themselves to see if & how well it works for them.

..that you're aware of.

Granted, as I said, I don't yet know if this will be complete & permanent, but the science and medicine behind it says yes. Even if it isn't, a 95-99% reduction in symptoms is damn near cure enough for most of us.. this has truly allowed me to get back to work and life in a major way, make a fresh start that I can build on and move forward with. Pretty sure that's something any of us on here would be interested in experiencing.

That's why when I share what I've learned and am doing I hope that many many people here try it and have success themselves.

I know that what I'm doing is in fact working because what I'm doing are the only changes I've made in my life that could influence brain function and symptom reduction/elimination. I'm well aware of the placebo affect & certain that it is not at work here. My brain is literally functioning more optimally, I'm not depressed or anxious, audio sensory overload is a thing of the past, my balance/coordination/fine motor skills & ability to work ambidextrously have improved by leaps and bounds, I'm more focused than ever, my short term memory & executive functions are better than ever, every single symptom is greatly reduced/improved - and that's not just all in my head. It's very very real.

Perhaps our brain structures are different & that is the genetic component that must be present for this illness to be triggered. Perhaps our brain structures and central nervous system electrical impulses are changed and altered and can be improved via this treatment. I've seen scans of the ADHD brain showing the rolling blackouts caused by dopamine deficiency not allowing nerves to all fire across synapses, and those patterns change with dopamine & other neurotransmitter levels. Chances are good, IMO, that if one were to have scanned my brain 4+ months ago and then scanned it today it would definitely show different firing patterns of activity. People are pretty complex creatures and can be healed and changed. There's no reason to believe that a brain that isn't functioning optimally cannot be healed/changed via treatment and made to function much better. Heck, we've all read stories about musicians altering their brain structure over time to enable them to hear and do things musically that others cannot. The brain is dynamic, the Autistic brain is not permanently broken and unable to change with changing conditions.

My thoughts exactly. Well put.

guys I think I caught a bad case of Aspergers. Aspergers is spreading in my school like wildfire. Everybody's catching it.

Take two asprins, drink plenty of fluids and make sure you have plenty of rest.

I never said it was a communicable disease.

However, the root cause can in fact be transmitted from mother to unborn child, or even person to person via bodily fluids - but then it would take perfect conditions for it to take hold and thrive vs. being killed off by one's immune system much like common colds.

You have not shared anything but your alleged experience. It is quite possible you have discovered something that all the specialists studying this have somehow missed. It has happened before and will happen again. I just am not going to get excited over something with no evidence presented and so little odds of being true.

But when you are ready to share this wonderful information and it is true how much of my life savings is this going to cost?. You see I need to know because I know this guy in Nigeria that has this huge inheritance he is willing to share with me if I give him an advanced deposit.

lol I actually appreciate your skepticism, as I too would be skeptical as F about what I'm claiming w/o providing any info yet.

It's cost me approx $500/month I'd guesstimate, but most of that is simply re-allocating other funds from within my monthly budget, so the true additional cost over and above my regular living expenses is probably around $100 or so per month. It depends on what & how much money people spend their current budgets on as to how much additional money this would cost someone to do.

Umm... No. It's not.

There's nothing really wrong with us; we're all still human. Our brains are just wired differently than most individuals. Aspergers is not some disease that just comes and infects people...

what if you had the infection since birth & there is in fact a curable infection causing the neurological symptoms?

i'll say we are another alien race... that how it is view. we tend to have a different way of decoding the good and the bad... we like aliens to them... high level of intelligence/stealth

I agree, eventhough the DSM-5 still uses the term "mental disorder":


So it's per definition a "disorder".

Disease is like you have a process of organic functions progressive weakness that could result in death. Without it, Asperger is not a disease. Is very complicated to pathologize all human beings who are different than ''normal'' or majority types.
All of us have advantages and disadvantages, 25% of american people will some ''mental disorder'' during your whole life. 25% of american people are ill?? No. The cure of all ''mental disorders'' is cultural. If you have a culture to believe don't fell outside.
Other problems of aspies and other neurodiverse do not exist a ''neuro-culture'', symbols, social rules, procriation behavior, all modern society was projected to extroverted neurotypical while was created by introverted people.

Depends.

The cause of it is actually still being debated, but that's just the way that I view it. My neurologist doesn't like calling it a mental illness/disorder, either.

Glad to see you're at least open to the possibility that it could be caused by a curable infection vs. shutting out possibilities that don't fit your beliefs perfectly.
