Very interesting article regarding Autism.

That's fascinating! 

 

I attended a few talks/seminars at work about ASD and the "settled science" consensus view was it's a genetic/hereditary condition. I was suspicious at the time as the research that reached this conclusion was sponsored and supported by the pharmaceutical industry. But what made me more suspicious was that during the post-presentation discussion anyone who dared mention vaccines as being possible contributing factors was harshly berated ("have we not just explained to you all that it's a matter of genetics!").

 

Just to be clear, I'm not doubting or questioning the success of itraconazole as outlined in the paper, just wondering how the vested pharma interests will deal with it as it conflicts with their dogmatic 'ASD is a genetic/hereditary condition' paradigm.

This is how I was diagnosed. 

 

I was always VERY different to everyone else. Things others found easy, day to day tasks and relationships were like a rubix cube for me, and things others couldn't understand I found quite easy.

 

But it wasn't a thing back then and I got on with life. Muddled through and did ok. The things I was terrible at I did manage to.improve over the years.

 

Then my nephew was diagnosed and they went on the hunt in the family to see who it came from, and the Drs pointed & diagnosed me!

 

Since then, having this label I have to admit has limited me. My progress on the things I was working on stalled somewhat, because now I have an excuse. " Yeah I'm like this because I'm a bit retarded" kinda attitude. Which I'm working on ditching to be honest because it's not helpful.

 

I'm not even we can say it's a specific disease or condition. Maybe it's just some people are a bit different and are at different development stages. I don't know?

 

Deep down I do truly believe that nothing cannot be overcome when you really put yourself at it. I really hate all these labels.
