He’s just a guy who feels he’s found a solution and seeks to help others via it.
He also has a decent-sized ego and feels he has to defend his honor when he feels others insult him.
So he feels the need to engage in debate which usually goes nowhere.
Ezra doesn’t think Goldfish is truly “looney.” He’s defending his honor, too.
They’re both defending their honor. This is at the crux of all this.
I'm not the one who used that word. As per agreement I let my parents know when someone wants me to do off forum stuff. Even if it's innocuous. They read the posts that had the invites etc and my dad laughed and said sounds pretty looney.
Send pops to come for dinner, one evening of conversation & he'll know how real and honest I am about all of this.

Um, no having a lot of sex is a human trait.. nothing to do with being a psychopath. I'm autistic, not wired or meant for relationships & while that's frustrating, I accept it and that I couldn't live with burdening another person with my ASD. Fortunately I was born gay, and casual sex is the norm for gay guys. I have a lot of sex compared to probably anyone on this forum, but I do know several gay guys who've had plenty more partners than I have. It's more of a gay thing than an ASD or psychopath thing. No one's getting pregnant or emotionally attached, it's all about physical pleasure.. and it's pretty f****n' rad.

But were you pumped full of them over and over as a newborn due to ear infections, like I and many on the spectrum were?
Did you take them for ~3-4 years straight as a teenager?
And then for several months straight in your late 20's due to multiple throat & lung infections?
And many other times throughout your life like I did?
Constantly nuking gut flora exacerbated ASD symptoms big time, especially as it contributed to gut dysbiosis that then perforated my intestines. Then I figured it all out 5+ years ago.
Also, you're ignoring others who've found that antibiotics alter ASD functioning levels. Like this father who observed it in his son: http://www.nofone.org/

EzraS told me to change my approach, so I did and offered him any/all evidence he wants even if it costs me $10,000 and a couple years to obtain. He declined.
I've also shifted gears to contacting doctors that understand this stuff, because clearly most people here aren't interested in learning anything about it. Well, EzraS, anyways.

It suggests you don't have Aspergers. If you had your parents would try to find out what was wrong with you, even more if it wasn't that obvious. And autism doesn't have to be debilitating for your parents to feel the need to look for the cause of it.
From the above and this statement, you don't have Aspergers, because it starts in the childhood, not in your adult life. And it's obvious why that "treatment" works for you, antibiotics caused your state, so probiotics cure it. There's no place for Aspergers here.
This of course corroborates my theory that something other than autism is being treated.
Oh, interesting how 2 other laymen on a forum are somehow experts on me and my thoughts.

Sorry, I should've quoted EzraS, I've responded to his post.
I sometimes fall into that trap, too. Wanting to keep my honor. Wanting to prevail in an argument. It's human nature.
Yes, I do that too. But that's why I know how's important it is to have someone keeping us from crossing the line. For me promoting uncertain treatment, and such sexual behaviour is crossing the line.
Thing is: I'm certain.
Also, I don't promote "such sexual behaviour." You can feel free to do, or not do, anyone you want/can. Wait 'til marriage. Get divorced. Do it again 5 times over. Whatever, doesn't affect me.

It's sort of entertaining to watch two people ranking each other out. Especially if the ranking out isn't taken too seriously.
It sometimes brings life to a forum; though it sometimes makes things depressing. A side of me really likes the dual cleverness.
I hope Ezra and Goldfish can get a soda (pop) somewhere, and just chew the fat a bit.
I don't drink pop, though.. maybe a naturally flavoured soda water w/ no sugar if beer isn't an option.

He only promotes sexual promiscuity by example. He doesn't directly advocate it.
I wouldn't indulge in what he indulges in. It's important that adults always know that they can use their free will to not be influenced by others.
But....his lifestyle is only a "variation" to me.
I don't promote any such lifestyle - it's not for sale! I'm simply transparent about how I live my life is all. You live yours however you want to.
Ding ding ding, if celibacy is for you, then do that thing.
Also, ding ding ding.. You do you. I just hope you're having fun and enjoying your lives as you see fit.

How is it a problem that this is a public forum?
I've never posted anything obscene, pornographic, or the like. And unlike others, I don't use this or any forum for dating/relationship/hookup sort of posts or messages. It's not the place for that. We have an app for that. Hell, there are several apps. lol

And you'd think most anyone would go back to their doctor and say, this stuff you put me on really messed me up. which would lead to many tests being performed.
Except this is reality. ASD research has shown that MANY on the spectrum have ear infections as infants. They just haven't fully realized that it's not the infection, but the antibiotics used to treat it, that's correlated to ASD development. They're getting there, though.
Further, I told ya, I watched a 1 year old boy change from a normal infant to one that was withdrawn, anxious, didn't make eye contact & other infant signs of ASD after a strong course of antibiotics to clear a staph infection he had likely acquired the day he was born. The antibiotics saved his life, but they changed his behaviours significantly. I recognized what was going on and told his parents to feed him probiotics. They did, lots of them over several weeks, and in that time it was like watching a withered houseplant one had forgot to water while on vacation spring back to life once it was wet again. He's ~6 years old now with no signs or symptoms of ASD. (On the genetic front, his maternal grandmother displays the strongest ASD symptoms in his family.) This is reality. Infants who's guts are nuked stand a strong chance of developing ASD if they're not rebalanced. Medical studies are now proving this, too. In time it'll become common knowledge and you won't think I'm so crazy anymore.
Again, you criticize me for not creating and conducting a medical study on myself. Sorry for being too busy saving my own life to have taken the time to methodically do that. But I told you before, I didn't have the resources to do it then - but I can do it now. I have time and money and the balance of mind to be able to do any of these things.

Except I didn't know what I didn't know. Hindsight is 20/20. I didn't know then that that was the cause. It took time & life experience to figure it all out.

And, in my heart of hearts, I don't believe antibiotics have any relationship to autism, either.
Especially, as you say, in someone above the age of about a few months.
It's funny about very young babies:
1. They are very susceptible to environmental influences
2. When there is an illness, an injury, or anything like that , the vast majority of very young infants heal very fast. It's just amazing how fast they heal!
You can believe that all you like; but it doesn't change the science any. It's especially critical in infants, though, I agree with this 100%. Early intervention is critical for normal development of children. This will all eventually be very common knowledge.
Yep, kids heal up quick. How they heal, develop, grow etc is of utmost importance to their health for the rest of their lives. That's why I might opt to go into Paediatrics vs. a GP role several years from now. Time will tell.

Thanks for the laugh, cube!
Me, too. Hopefully our politicians listen to the Maclean's author who wrote an article saying it wasn't enough to put trade duties & tariffs on American made goods in retaliation for Trump's trade war.. that instead we should be targeting Trump & his family's businesses instead. Makes sense that the only way to bring this guy down a notch is to hit HIM in the wallet, not the American people - because Trump doesn't care about the American people; only himself.
Thankfully, though, he's old & out of shape so he might die soon.

I am VERY optimistic about the reality that I'll be heading back to the beach in T-less than an hour, where I'll drink a couple beers naked in the sunshine with dozens (maybe hundreds) of beautiful people, & then snap and post my traditional Sunset photo before heading home. Gotta make the most of the full time beach bum life opportunity I have for this week! Then I'll be all topped up on optimism & I'll perform better at work and in the rest of my life, too.

You're very welcome. I have started a new thread about Trump if you want to discuss him including why you can't stand him and what we can do about him. viewtopic.php?t=364715
