After reading the whole thing, I am bit worried about all the logical leaps and this just being a weird mashup of ideas that don't make much sense.

That being said, as a person that is mildly on ASD spectrum I was bit intrigued by the hypothesis of higher lactate orinted energy production in autistics. It would match two of my lifelong problems, having strong exhaustion (food coma) after eating high carbs and having similar reaction to even short (5min) high-intensity workouts. I had to adapt by avoiding large doses of carbs and focusing more on resistance training with large pauses inbetween.

I am baffled how some of my friends can eat a mountain of white rice or workout hard for hour and be completely fine after.
