Has anyone tried treating the bad parts of their Asperger's?

(Nothing else has worked for me, and I'm trying to get the word out. This only works for a certain amount of people. I'm not selling anything, I promise. It's not scientifically proven but I am willing to stick with it for now.)

This study says that children with Asperger's have unique facial features This only works for this specific cause.

I believe that these facial features causes dehydration as a result because of the added physical stress due to the nose flatness and nose width. The body sweats as compensation. Therefore, one way to treat autism would be to add electrolyte supplements as compensation.

When I took the electrolyte supplements, I noticed that I didn't feel as hotheaded, my mind was clearer, I had better coordination, and didn't suffer from insomnia anymore. I'm not saying that this is the final solution, as I believe facial surgery will fix it for me. But this is something to think about.

The biggest change however was in my eating habits. The body oftentimes confuses hunger with thirst so I didn't feel the urge to continuously eat and now I'm losing fat.

Well, completely ignoring your other points, there are a couple of blatant grammatical errors in that article.

What are the good parts of Aspergers?

1. The ability to focus upon details "NT"s aren't able to focus on. This has lead to great inventions.

2. The ability to focus upon a "special interest" (especially if it's useful, like engineering).

I refuse to treat the bad parts of being on the spectrum. I love how I am.

The differences the article pinpoints aren't big enough to cause a large enough different in sweating to affect health.

If the electrolytes work for you, great - but it's not because your nose is wide. It's probably because of a placebo effect, or failing that, because of physiological issues other than the shape of your nose.


I think you might be assuming a cause-effect relationship where none exists. I wouldn't waste your money.


I don't think the body confuses hunger and thirst, they're very different.

If electrolyte balance is really your issue, then perhaps you wanted to eat to get your sodium levels back up. Drinking won't do that.

I guess one of the other good parts might be the ways our emotions differ from NTs. My sister is very broken up by my Dad's death, crying a lot, having trouble functioning. I am not very emotional over it. I miss him, but I am able to function very well at work and things like that. It could also be that I have an insecure attachment style due to my adoption circumstances also. Probably some of both.
