Mods, why aren't you removing this BS?
Because it's not BS? ...
It’s BS. The member has claimed to have discovered THE cause, without presenting his/her credentials, methodology, or peer-review confirmation.
It takes much more than an Internet connection, an obsessive focus, and a lot of spare time to discover a ‘cause’ for anything.
So let me make this official:
I’m calling BS on the OP’s claim.. Now watch him/her get all indignant because I’m not turning cartwheels and shouting ‘Hallelujah’ over his/her alleged results. Watch him/her present a lot of unrelated ‘facts’ and convoluted ‘reasoning’ in a vain effort to ‘prove’ his/her claim. Watch him/her attack anyone who does not hail him/her as a great scientist with an even greater scientific discovery.
(It’s always the same ... and I’m betting that this is no different from past ‘discoveries’.)
But if he or she turns out to be the Albert Schweitzer of autism and have an actual cause/cure, then I will withdraw my protest and proclaim the effort as real.
Replace the word "THE," with "A," and your stress levels might come down out of the stratosphere.
This is what you wrote to me, "I figured out what causes AS and how to treat it".
And I did. According to your homie, Tony, I’ve had AS my entire life - and doing what I did & do alleviates the symptoms,
in me, that he wrote about. And like the OP of this thread I’ve had a brief PM chat with, I’ve learned things since I wrote that & now phrase things differently. You’ll notice in this thread that I’ve written multiple times that it “treats My autism.” And if you care to read any historical posts you’ll find that I’ve written several times that what I’ve learned and done should, according to medical study stats, apply to 70% of us on the spectrum. (Not all. 70% of ppl on the spectrum have a sensitivity to salicylate acids.) I’m now more in line with kraftie kortie’s Phrasing that it’s perhaps not Autism or ASD, but rather, Autism
(s) that
may have multiple causes that result in similar symptoms. At the time I wrote what you quoted, I had figured out what causes/exasperates AS and how to treat those textbook symptoms as per your homie & hadn’t considered the possibility that the same symptoms could be caused by something else, or that something else could cause enough of the diagnostic criteria symptoms to qualify for a diagnosis (whether self or professional) under the rather broad umbrella list that is ASD.
So, nothing I wrote was untrue. We’ve all simply learned more since then 6+ years ago, myself included.
