    Caveman Inventions!

    Are you happy to see me or do you have a pocket full of D-cells?;):p

    Autism is a "disease"?

    It certainly seems a bit nebulous depending upon one's definition of disease, abnormality, illness, or condition. It could be that for most definitions of medical syndromes, there must be a disease, abnormality, or condition present. The term syndrome is more of a descriptor of the signs and...

    Looking for input on creative choice

    Perspective and context here: Is the painting to be more of a logo or something that will be primarily for the facility, OR, do you want this to be for the clients that come into the facility? There's a difference. A business may want something they can put on their letterhead or website...

    Pick out symptoms

    @Kayla55, I am sorry you experienced doctors with an apparent ignorance about postpartum complications and health risks. As someone working in the neonatal ICU for over 35 years and, attending countless deliveries, and at our hospital, we deliver on 4 different floors, and deliver around 8000...

    Autism is a "disease"?

    Well, to add some clarity here, if your autism variant is associated with anxiety, then this can, but not always, increase your risk of hypertension. If your autism variant is associated with a lack of sleep, this can, but not always increase your risk of hypertension, as well. Persistent...

    Autism is a "disease"?

    The definition of the word "disease". Definition of DISEASE All feelings pushed aside, like it or not, autism does fall under that definition. Now, do I feel like I have a disease? Not in the least. In fact, I could twist the narrative around to suggest that what is considered "normal" in...

    New and Confused

    Best to separate the questions into different threads. But before doing so, you might also use the search function for key words and topics, as it is likely others have had similar questions and the topic discussed before.

    Kinda messed up in the head today over my Father's ashes

    My sister-in-law recently passed away after a several year battle with cancer. At any rate, my brother-in-law and her had many years of happy marriage and moved around at bit, as well as traveled. So, he took several months (he's retired) travelled around, and spread some of her ashes at her...

    Curious

    As with anything, the response will be individualized. There's enough genetic variability that what works for one, may not for another. Part of my journey with all of this was a deep dive into "all things autism". As someone in healthcare, and more specifically, MY healthcare, my bias is to...

    Curious

    Ah, executive functioning issues associated with attention deficits. Well, all I can suggest is microdosing with psilocybin (magic mushrooms), but they are illegal, so I can't really suggest it,... ;)

    Is it right to be worried about disclosing autism diagnosis?

    The way I handle this is I don't say I have Asperger's or autism and let them try to interpret what that means. They won't. The same with anybody else. 99.99% of neurotypicals will have zero idea of what that means. Rather, I will tell them what that means, specifically, when interacting...

    1. L-theanine to think more clearly and sleep better. 2. Chelated magnesium for relaxation, blood pressure management, and sleep. 3. Melatonin for better sleep. 4. Methylated B-complex. Decreased inflammation. Better energy/less mental fatigue. Lower homocysteine levels. 5. N-acetyl...

    Is it right to be worried about disclosing autism diagnosis?

    Sensory Issues: Not so much with teaching. If I have some control over the noise levels with everyone having their little conversations during lab hours, then it's OK. If not, of course, I prefer the decibels to be lowered. More so with my work in the hospital ICU. All sorts of electronic...
