    In the previous post, instad of "withhold to draw any conclusion" it should be "refrain from drawing any conclusion". I apologize for the occasional (I hope) glaring faults in my English.

    A. There are two types of causes: immediate and mediate. The mediate cause seems to be genetic, though the identification of the genes involved, and of the way they interact between themselves, is still a work in progress and will probably remain so for quite a long time. That being the...

    An afterthought on the possible program just in case someone finds the idea interesting: it is best to assume there are 50 genes in play, with each gene represented by a variable with two possible values, 1 for the autistic variant and 0 for the NT variant. This way the AGL is just the...

    For a meaningful estimation of probability, you need to start from an assumption of the genetic mutations in play that is more or less approximate to reality. Research so far seems to point out that the genes playing a role in ASD are hundreds. For each gene, the relationship between the "A"...

    A Most Random Truth!

    I'm not lazy. I just have a higher need of rest than most people, and a wise propensity to it.

    Two aspies can be highly compatible or extremely incompatible. And if they are compatible, they should seriously consider whether they are eventually going to have children. Because it is evident that each of their potential offspring has, a priori, a 50 % probability of having an ASD severity...

    Aspergers+Schizophrenia

    I forgot to add the following to the answer to point b, and I can no longer edit that message, so here it goes: If this hypothesis is correct, there should be observations of aspies experiencing psychotic episodes after an increase in the level of Nitric Oxide (NO) in their brains. I...

    Aspergers+Schizophrenia

    There are five points involved in this question, which I will name a to e and adress below. But first of all, two important caveats: - As I say in my signature, I'm just a guy with a keyboard. So readers are encouraged to check by themselves my quotes and reasoning from them. - The studies I...

    Greetings from an Argentinian self-diagnosed (aspie & schizoid)

    Thank you all for the welcome. Replying now to bentHnau, the mutual exclusiveness between AS and SPD is just coded in DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10. (I just ignore DSM-5, where SPD is gone.) In both cases, the mutual exclusiveness is asymmetric, in that it is specified only on the SPD side and not...

    A Most Random Truth!

    For Argentinian car drivers, the lives of pedestrians are worthless. In contrast, Brazilian car drivers feel a moral duty to kill them.

    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    If learning of other aspies with CFS feels good, you can re-live that experience many times over by reading the following links, all of which have the pattern: www.wrongplanet.net/string.html with string = { postt44912 , postt106141 , postt124477 , postt169579 } FWIIW, when I compiled...

    Comment by 'Franco' in 'Not a Great Day ...'

    Hi, fellow Argie. Two questions. 1. On the weight loss, do you REALLY need to take amphetamine (Adderall)??? Because from wikipedia: Other side effects include ... loss of appetite, nausea, ... and weight loss. 2. What is a JPEG? (I guess it is not the image datastream format...)

    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    I got CFS at the age of 31. It was the result of years of excessive workload and related stress, which progressively wore me out to the point where one of the typical influenzas I got in winter triggered CFS. It had moderate severity for 2-3 years, in which my quality of life was awful but I...

    Greetings from an Argentinian self-diagnosed (aspie & schizoid)

    And just in case someone does not know, schizoid personality has nothing to do with schizophrenia. I am in my 40's, and learned about AS in 2009, seeing that the description fitted me quite well. Next year I learned about schizoid personality and saw that it also fitted me. I also realized...

    Looking a lot younger?

    Hi compatriot. I actually registered here because, while having a look at the forum, I saw that I could provide potentially very useful info for you on this problem: The info is that coenzyme Q10, aka ubiquinone, a nutritional supplement usually taken at a dosage of 100 mg/day, with a meal...
