@PurpCat@coolboymew@mangeurdenuage I've someone claim he "cured" his autism after removing seeds and grain from his diet. Which makes me think that a lot of the symptoms we to diagnose autism are due to diet.
Hunting cultures like Inuits don't have high rate of diagnosed autism, yet suffer health issues when they switch to a "modern" diet.
Yet pcos and klinefelter syndrome also show symptoms that are diagnosed as "autism". Which makes me question how autism is defined "professionally".
@PurpCat@coolboymew@mangeurdenuage I feel my issue that Society operates in a Polytropic way, while i process things in more Monotropic way.
Monotropism is the tendency to focus on a single topic or feeling at a time, with is usefully for hunting or research, but becomes a issue for managing multiple plants and livestocks. As we transitioned to farming over hunting, Polytropism became more selected genetically.
Autistics tend to have a much higher rate of digestive issues, and i think that's due to that we eat a farming diet we're not adapted to. I feel like a have a similar issue it my real life relationship. I talk about a topic and it's abandoned a minute later. Yet that topic is still stuck in my head, and i can't keep track of whatever new topic is being discussed, and when i bring it up again, they act like i was bring something from a week ago.
However i can't really tell if ADHD is due Monotropism making it hard to focus on any else or a even stronger form of Polytropism.
