Maybe this new drug will cure autism?

[Kayla55]

It's not always possible, depends on people and for me stress,
Even if I've eaten healthy stress can trigger headaches and anxiety.
I can also remain upset for days on end not being able to work optimally, huge drawback.
It's good to discuss with others and get a better perspective.
My son moans at me as he repeats what he knows I'm going to say:

when I'm in control of myself, I'm in control of the situation. When I react, I'm drawn into argument.

For him he's ok at scho, but get home to brothers and they do everything to get up his wrong side. So to me, we apologise and respect one another's boundaries, not going to apologise to sibling.
I don't always get involved only if I see signs that he's going to attack them. Reason being is his life skills are much better because of it, but I know it's annoying. Setting rules and defining space n boundaries is a real challenge - it's my attempt to deal with our messy home.
I think meditations are good, even if given more time that one day in right situation it will make sense to him.
I remember trying to breath in and relax and it took years and in wrong stress I do also snap...avoidant of triggers is a key to successful management of this.

Can I ask, why and how do you consider it a gift? I've only ever looked at it as an impediment and something to be ashamed of (until recently)

PS People aren't born with autism, they are born autistic, and realizing that made a huge difference in how I see this gift.

Unfortunately, most of us Asies quietly live our lives as scientists and mathematicians being on this site is like hanging out in a disabled ward of a hospital, been their done that. Believe me it is a gift when I was a kid I was in the hospital in a ward where no one could walk I could Crippled Children's Center, the outside world. where everybody could walk was the majority. so it all comes down to perspective.

It has being almost 16 years that I've being living as a recluse, I'm just happier to be alone and don't miss people.
Shopping is a quick round early morning to avoid crowds, my children dropped ND independent in that I'm a hi, bye person but I make sure they have what they need.

I did my rounds when I was younger, tried various jobs, tried socialising. So I studied becoming a computer programmer, prefer this career option.
I was so insulted when I was allocated the side of social media, no no and no. I regret that this world is sexist and I had so many challenges, times I wished I was just normal girl but I wasn't and the drive was going to send me to ends of the earth.

 

[Kayla55]

I'm not crazy, I'm very methodical person.

Welcome to the site, I'm interested in knowing more about you, Not surprised that you are a bit cynical, great tribe here feels different to be among your own.

As long as my Mom has discontinued epilum I am happy. My headaches turned to migraines and I'm tired so I'm going to leave this topic for a while. She has decided to detox with above herb....any advice welcome

Thanks,

I feel like a brick in a wall, was hoping to meet people who wanted to feel as though we enforce positive changes, lead in our own direction and create a sense of justice in a world where seems either have to be rich or famous for others to listen.

Not sure if aspies feeling to just be own own mission or to share, join and create a gang of us here who discuss and tackle what we think could also be solutions to lives out there.

I receive opinions, advice no one seems to want to start a chat and say ok so these are all findings, let's create YouTube channel and get our research or ideas out there

 

[Kayla55]

Being a pc programmer I'm always rating use of sites and thinking of what tools would be useful.

I find it difficult as lookup person created comment and see what info they share, let's say ilike what someone has to say...I want to find more threads by that person. I think lot of what is shared gets lost in timeline,
Then similar topic comes up from before, it's difficult to link to previous thread, even require what I said then.

 

[Ronald Zeeman]

When I worked, I would change employers and when I landed a new position the first thing that would occur to me was how could I fix their process. What was the weakness and what could I do about it. my expertise is different from your, however we seem to have to have similar way of thinking.

[Mr. Stevens]

This is an animal model. This implies that there is a such thing as a genetically-altered "autistic" mouse. Does this imply that we "know" what causes autism? How does one identify an "autistic" mouse?

It sneaks into your kitchen and monologues?

(Honestly, I'm curious how many people would take any cure by choice.)

 

[Kalinychta]

I take lamotrigine already, for epilepsy. I would absolutely increase my dose to reduce the symptoms of autism, but only if it didn’t take away my imagination. Otherwise, I would gladly relieve myself of this “gift.”

 

[Kayla55]

Yes, I'm socially inadapt

The stress is too much, migraines.
Maybe I just have a hard destiny path, while others quit ND take easy way out I'm ostracised and yet when you can't figure it out you always coming back to message me.

Maybe I just need to be heard,

Pls msg me on the side quietly about epilepsy....if you willing to answer few questions to help research for medicine.

You need to understand this: those who are different from the times spend most of time being against the grain.
The ideal is to be normal person who keeps up with trendz, even plagues another's creativity, lies it's own work. And proceeds to be happy and fulfilled.
Can't seperate the creativity from where it comes from

I'm sharing stuff from my other support group, it's varied topics, I say this incase it helps anyone else

You have a very active mind I thought Mine was active. So much to say so little time.

Sharing medical advice: like diabetes we check blood pressure, epilepsy too

measuring BP), volume receptors in the pulmonary veins and atria (measuring blood volume) as well as chemoreceptors e.g., in the lungs' and kidneys' vascular systems (measuring pH, pCO2, pO2). The central ANS integrates visceromotor, neuroendocrine, pain, and behavioral responses


Dysregulation of this setpoint has an impact on long-term BP control and other effects mediated by the sympathetic system. Furthermore, chronic emotional and psychosocial stress can perpetuate cardiovascular diseases and is a cardiovascular risk factor of similar importance and magnitude as smoking or diabetes This may be partially linked to an increased amygdalar resting state activity, as recently shown in a functional MRI study in apparently healthy adults. Apart from chronic stress, acute stress can lead to cardiovascular complications in cases of exaggerated autonomic reactivity during emotional or neurological crisis,

People with epilepsy (PwE) have an elevated risk of acute myocardial infarctions and sudden cardiac death as compared to the general population. Multiple factors increase the likelihood of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in PwE including detrimental effects of anti-seizure drugs on electrical properties of cardiomyocytes and on circulating blood components (e.g., lipids and related proteins as a major risk factor of coronary artery disease) as well as epilepsy-related negative effects on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that lead to enhanced sympathetic tone, thereby facilitating cardiac arrhythmias and deregulated control of arterial blood pressure (BP) (6–8). In addition, seizure-related disturbances of cardiac function are frequently observed in association with different seizure types and may be the cause of death in a significant proportion of people with epilepsy (7–9). In this article, we focus on systemic BP, its alterations in PwE and contribution to cardiovascular morbidity, mortality, and possibly sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

Similarities define neurological disease

I get what are called auras, which can be really terrible headaches with a loss of focus and awareness. Although, I've had different degrees of severity. I've never lost the ability to function when I have auras, but they really do trip me up. Sometimes things will seem very unfamiliar when they shouldn't, I will have the bad headaches, have an altered sense of being, and after I get very very tired.

There are symptoms that can happen when not having a seizure. I, for example, I have muscle twitches. Which if in a specific spot, would look like an apendendage would seem to move a little

eyes and includes repetitive patterns and flashing lights. The more sensitive you are to such stimuli the higher the likelihood you'll have a seizure (which may be compounded by a low seizure threshold). It has been said the mechanism of how photosensitive epilepsy causes seizures isn't well understood. But here's a nice basic explanation: Visual stimuli (information/images taken in visually) is passed through the eyes into the visual cortex area of the brain where it is sorted out and processed. In photosensitive epilepsy flashing lights (seen by both eyes in the central field of vision) cause the visual cortex to be overloaded with images/information, causing a seizure. The seizure itself occurs because when the visual cortex gets overloaded, the neurons fire al

waiting on a platform for a train. I had an aura so stepped further back from the edge. As in the above, I then had a focal partial-awareness seizure where I started walking and fell off of the platform landing on the railway line! Luckily I didn’t get hit by a train or electrocuted and was swiftly helped back onto the platform by the public and the staff!

Due to sensory issues, autism can cause low or high blood pressure, even dehydration.

Some of epilepsy auras can be similar to autism and a pure autistic stroke!!! I'm having the eye twitching lately with saw hands n calcium and magnesium supplements.

I know epilepsy required diet to try assist with arteries n blood pressure.

When had covid I got pain in ribs, irregular heart beat......hadn't had it for years.

In the context of BP control, it integrates viscerosensory information from the dorsal thalamus with interoceptive and exteroceptive, memory and cognitive stimuli, including signals of taste, olfaction, temperature perception, auditory processing, vestibular function, pain, emotional experience, empathy, and social cognition. The insular cortex thereby contributes to maintenance of emotional and physiological homeostasis
