    Yeast, Gluten and Autism

    After a few days of avoiding gluten and eating unprocessed foods, my mind has been clearer and more able to deal with "unclear" instructions. It seems that I can get the gist or context of what a neurotypical person says to me, including their brief, often unclear instructions. From past...

    Yeast, Gluten and Autism

    I googled a possible link between gluten, Roundup herbicide and cognitive impairment, and got this interesting link - it may be that my case is not that unusual. It does not cover Roundup effects but this is an interesting doorway for more interesting research links. The science does not seem...

    Yeast, Gluten and Autism

    Hi Everyone - Just recently I had a very bad experience. What happened was that I had a very bad case of cognitive impairment, much more so than usual. My mentor had to move to a new location because of health problems, so I had to help her move. I frequently misunderstood her instructions...

    How many of you are living with a good ASD mentor?

    An ASD mentor would be someone like this: It would be someone who knows you over the years, and who has enough compassion and patience to tactfully help you organize things to make your life easier. It would be someone who does not have autism and happens to be my/your best friend and has more...

    How many of you are living with a good ASD mentor?

    Hi Everyone - I have been through a sea of changes lately. I have moved into a nice home with a good mentor. She has been a great source of tips and advice for me. Even though we are opposites in personality, in some ways we do share things in common, like our food choices and our...

    Dreams of autism

    Hi - Good to be back on the forum. I had recurring dreams of re-attending a technical school in the past. Though I managed to graduate it long ago, doing well academically, my experience was very painful. Just a mention - this depiction has NOTHING TO DO with how the school might be like...

    The last thing that made you laugh

    "End of the Shift" Syndrome at Save On Foods Grocery After I spilled a box of blueberries with a flimsy lid, I started singing, "...On Blueberry Hill..." The customer got a laugh. Near the end of a 10% discount Tuesday shift, one staff member working nearby said, "I talk to the groceries". I...

    Has anyone experimented with nutrition to help alleviate autistic challenges?

    Great topic!! I have had to make countless adjustments and additions to my daily diet and nutrition intake. Where to start, I do not know. I have researched nutrition books and the Autism Coach Website to help me go through the hard knocks I have to endure on a daily basis. For my...

    How many wake up hearing music in their head and lots of racing thoughts?

    Hi - How many of you wake up feeling bedridden with a mind that won't stop making noise? Theme music, random racing thoughts and other stuff seem to play constantly in my mind, especially when I am trying to fall asleep and upon waking up. Is this common among those with ASD?

    How many of you enjoy jigsaw puzzles?

    Hi - I have just finished a 500-puzzle of six golden lab puppies standing and looking out from a wire fence on a country farm. Right now I am doing a puzzle of a cottage with a young lady feeding the geese. With different kinds of pieces and the fun shapes they make, I find the Cobble Hill...

    Do your thoughts race elsewhere in the middle of daily tasks

    Hi - Many times my mind wanders off quickly to other things in the middle of housework, at work, or even when I am eating. When this happens I forget things or misplace things. I will spill things, knock stuff over, or end up biting my tongue when eating, etc. But when I am driving or...

    How many of you have just moved into an apartment?

    Hi - I have moved into an apartment last June and I still have a lot of de-cluttering to do. How many of you still have a lot of stuff to condense, especially if you have a lot of souvenirs from your deceased parents? I have kept a lot of jewelry boxes and other wood crafts that my father...
