I think that your wording is still horrendous.

One thing is autism that is in genes and other is behavioral/adaptational etc. change.

I can assure you that diet had no impact on my anxiety that I have with my autism, where in stressful situations I have severe communication issues with other people with all rhe "classic autism" symptoms, while in very relaxed environment you will have a hard time to define me as autistic at all - where my adhd(undiagnosed) would crawl out...

What realy upsets is how some autistic people are defining themselves an their place in society. I had less issues wit NT people - almost always the people that tried to impose on me some rules were people with diagnosed/undiagnosed spectrum - the worst damage I have seen to others also have been from autistic people as with NTs you can mirror, but with peolle on spectrum - it is a nightmare.

I deserve that. I legit dont re-read anything i write on here because i tend to be censored.

Not genetic. GWBush put a ton of money into this and they essentially came away with nothing. 23andme isn't detecting autism via genes.

Which diets have you tried? The article never super specified which exactly. Kind of keto but that wouldn't be good enough. You'd still have problems.

Ya you don't need to be like that anymore. You could be able to sit quietly in a dark room and just be. No chatter in the brain anymore. It's a level of peace that you really need to experience for the first time.
