Any way to "cure" autism?

[NaturalBornNEET]

Specifically the difficulties in social communication and just general awkwardness in existing.

Certain therapies (be careful with ABA, it's 50/50 whether you get a place that does psychological torture or actually helps, you gotta ask if they're neuroaffirming and if they follow traditional torture types) can alleviate and help you find methods to cope/function better.

Otherwise, though, you sort of just have to curate ypur own environment as best you can, and accept yourself.

Tylenol, If it causes it, it should reverse it with homeopathy! (cuz this is 100% real science)

On a more serious note, practice makes perfect, just go outside, and ask for directions (even if u know where to go) its a way to practice that many of my friends have used.

Autism can be viewed as a form of microbial dysbiosis in the intestines, where most serotonin and oxytocin is produced. I recommend you consuming A2 raw milk kefir every day along with plenty of probiotics, eliminating all processed foods, avoiding antibiotics, and looking into oxytocin-secreting peptides. You should also research carbetocin and Aajonus Vonderplanitz.

The way I can't tell if this is satire is terrifying.

the cure for a slightly different brain structure can be found in the intestines from someone called ubermensch folks we found it that easily

Only thing that's ever worked for me is shrooms. (only while actually high)

Actually, that's one of the main reasons autistic people are prone to addiction. I know someone who used alcohol like that.

 

[rainatthebusstop]

Unfortunatelly no. You can only compensate for it by looking into some behavioural therapy and adjusting things to make them easier for you. And also practice. You know, all the hard shit no one wants to do

Also don't listen to idiots who think autism comes from the gut. The guy who tried to prove that in a pilot study got nothing and fantasized about a brain-gut disease caused by the measles vaccine. He was so bad at science that one of the guys he cited was some crazy old guy who stole drugs from the hospital and said he cured autism by injecting patients with his spinal fluid (it didn't even work. And even if it did, that guy is dead)

 

[Leonard_Bangley39]

you don't cure it. you just fuck up until you eventually learn how to not act autistic.

 

[grandmotherboxing]

No. Me, you, and any 'high functioning' autistic person (as dysfunctional as said spectrum is in classifying it) can only be lucky that we weren't born with more difficulties and bigger needs. I've never seen therapy work for the social aspect, emotions at best, I've seen myself and others have to claw their way out through pattern recognition, learning from their mistakes and being on guard all the time for social signals that we don't pick up on instinctively.

There is only one real cure: finding an accepting community that isn't afraid to be direct with you and won't ridicule you for misunderstanding them or having difficulties in communication.

He changed the pfp quickly. Strangely enough (for him maybe) one could look into the Nazi origins of modern day autism study

 

[mysticatedwine]

you can't cure autism. if you're LSN (low support need) most of the time you'll develop strategies that help you fit and that you can apply in your daily life to be more in control. if you're MSN (medium) or HSN (high), it gets trickier and you won't always have strategies. in that case, i wish you to find the right structures that you need in order to get the support you require. it won't be perfect, it never is, but it can help you have a more manageable routine.

i wish you the best, fellow autistic person. shine on

thank you. wouldn't have worded it better myself

There is for a sensory stuff

 

[Liebestod]

I'm autistic and besides alcohol idk. I might try harder drugs like mdma or cocaine to see what effect it would have on my social awkwardness.

 

[INYGTRMTFMO]

I'm not sure that awkwardness ever really goes away, but socialization is a skill; some of us were born with a severe disadvantage and may never be as "good" at it as someone born gifted in that area, but with practice, we can become better than where we started.

(Similar to, say, drawing. Some people are born with an abundance of innate talent and can draw perfectly photorealistically fairly early on. Most people would never be able to draw photorealistically with any amount of practice, but practicing can bring them from stick figures to recognizable human figures).

I say this because I'm autistic and work in human services. A single phone call used to drain me completely when I first started. A decade later, I can make phone calls all day long; I may occasionally stammer, or have a flattened effect, or say something slightly awkward, but I get it done and am told that I'm generally pleasant.

As ridiculous as the neo-nazi guy's comment is, diet can absolutely have an effect on your experience of autism. Cutting out gluten seriously helped with my sensory issues and basically eliminated my meltdowns. I still struggle socially though. It will probably be different for you; if you're interested in this route look into something like low FODMAP or just start experimenting with what you're eating and pay attention to how you feel

As for social stuff, my therapist says that ketamine therapy has helped a lot of her other patients as autistic social difficulties are exacerbated by social trauma early on. If you can afford something like that it might be worth it

There isn't really much actual studies into gluten and autism that haven't been deubunked, last time I checked. Inflammation does not make autism worse—there is a caveat though.

If you have a comorbid disorder that involve inflammation (autoimmune disorders, for one), they can and will absolutely react with the sensory element of autism, and gluten or a low FODMAP diet (or a Mediterranean diet!) may be your way to go. People don't realize that it's not the autism, it's the extremely common autoimmune dysregulation we come with.

For me, it's PANS/PANDAS (other disorders too, but this one the most), which is affected by certain inflammatory things, and makes my sensory ten times worse anytime it's in a flare. It also exacerbates my autistic traits.
