    Stepping back into the forums

    My screen name is Keigan. I dropped off the boards a while ago as life changed and I needed a break. I'm returning now as life is improving and I am starting to keep my head above water. Partially in a relationship, though it is not easy - my own integrity forces me to face things that have...

    A man and his dog, adventures in living life

    Today I know and feel true loss.... and true love.... and absolute joy.... I laid my dog to rest today, baby Keigan is in heaven and I believe I will meet him again. A tumor was overtaking his body, within six months it went from “what is this” to X-XL bulge on his rib cage. His walks...

    Gene responsible for autism identified

    There are publications on the gene as early as 2012. They suspect and it needs to be studied further.

    my experience with Ketogenic Diet and Extended Fasting

    An very high level article that references many studies(though smaller) that describe benefits of a ketogenic diet for reducing and/or eliminating the expression of autistic traits. Autism and the Ketogenic Diet | Ruled Me

    my experience with Ketogenic Diet and Extended Fasting

    Boi yes. Currently my diet is 90% good fat and 10% protein as I try to keep my carbs <20g per day - as my body is fat adapted. The interesting thing is that now I do not need to count calories, I eat one meal per day and I eat until I am full. My problem now is maintaining weight, the more...

    my experience with Ketogenic Diet and Extended Fasting

    The most beneficial approach is to fast for 4 to 7 days. The easiest transition into a fast is to be low carb and no sugar for a week or two prior to your fast initiation. Do not attempt fasting if you are Type-1 diabetic. Always consult a doctor prior and during a fast if you are taking...

    my experience with Ketogenic Diet and Extended Fasting

    Yeast overgrowth: look at your tongue in the mirror, if it is white then the body has yeast overgrowth. One remedy is the consumption of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV).

    my experience with Ketogenic Diet and Extended Fasting

    Carb withdrawal symptoms (Keto flu): - headaches - foggy thinking - muscle cramps - hunger pangs - irrational thinking - significant gas and bowel movement as yeast dies off and other toxins exit the body Carb withdrawal mitigation: - drink lots of water - add salt to your water consumption -...

    my experience with Ketogenic Diet and Extended Fasting

    Yeast is naturally in our bodies, though it can become overgrown and cause the symptoms that you described. Fasting can remedy many things in the body. My diet has always been low carb and no sugar, so stepping into a fast is easy for myself and I don’t have carb based withdrawals. Fasting...

    How best to reach out to recent ex

    It seems like you need to do something like write a letter for closure, but writing that letter is your closure. Mailing it and expecting a response seems unlikely as as not healthy.

    Best friend - definition

    And all things change... From every good morning and every good night and being available at anytime for any situation - to something different and less. I’m alexithymic which is not associated with autism. What ever you do, do it to the best of your abilities for as long as you can sustain...

    Asperger and kids

    I agree - my own DNA shows the risks and I wish I had DNA from both my mother and father.
