    Lets say you think you have a cure... for ANYTHING

    Yes. It's extremely easy to see the correlation between modern commercial living and trauma in autistics. We have far greater senses and will be impacted by the assault on them to a much greater extent than those who have pruned synapses.

    I'm not sure what you are discounting? The nature of how hypothesis are developed, or my life's work? Neither is contradictory to the attestation that research is directed at causes and therapeutics.

    I am excited to meet new people. I'm so sorry for the trauma so many have experienced. My rural life certainly helped me stay autonomous.

    Lets say you think you have a cure... for ANYTHING

    I am actively trying to collect personal experiences from autistic adults. I'm afraid I'm not very good at navigating this forum (maybe it's better on PC?). I'd hoped this could be a place to do it. I gladly accept advice on how to share or collaboration in project size.

    Lets say you think you have a cure... for ANYTHING

    I have great respect for the scientific method and the level of education and professionalism involved in advancing medical understanding. I also see the effects of the aforementioned "science" on autistic lives. Could you define the word "cure" as it pertains to your argument? Tea won't...

    Hello, from Northern Ontario, Canada. I dx'd a few months ago, at nearly 54, a year and a half into recovery from a nearly catastrophic burn out. Horrendous non care, from an array of general and specialist physicians, forced me to research the hell out of my situation and heal myself. It's a...
