HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I'm screwed, then. I love cheese.

LOL!

If it's true then it looks like I will have autism forever.

I would not give up cheese for anything!

Cheese is a diary product which carries enzymes similar to those found in milk. Autistics are found to be highly lactose intolerant which we believe is a functionality of neuron susceptibility. It appears that the enzymes found in both cheese and milk enters the blood stream through liver filtration and intestinal absorption. Once, these enzymes enter the blood stream they make there way to the brain releasing toxins that appear to cause degeneration of neuron synapses.

LoL.

I'm lactose intolerant and sensitive to gluten and eggs, as are several members of my family. I highly doubt it caused my learning disability but the gastro-intestinal symptoms can definitely contribute to meltdowns. (Incidentally I am also addicted to Sheep's cheese).

I really wish there was less focus on what causes autism (usually with some idea of 'preventing' autism; if someone wants to research causes in order to better understand us and help those of us already alive manage the difficult parts of AS I wouldn't object). There needs to be more research on things like the possible link between female Aspies and IBS. Is it related to sensory issues? Are there genes which are linked to predisposition, perhaps with similar environmental triggers for both? What is the most effective way of managing IBS and intolerance symptoms when going completely gluten free is difficult and can be prohibitively expensive? Just some questions off the top of my head, but as you stated finding any information related to adults on the spectrum is difficult.

Maybe, ASAN or some other organization will broaden their horizons to include research on Adult Autists. I hope to see them evolve into an organization with a research branch specializing in the study of Autistic Adults. In my opinion, Who better to help teenagers, young adults, and older adults on the spectrum.

I think they are slowly realizing THAT without a number of Autistic people(with higher education) in diverse roles( professions needed to sustain a culture); they will always be subject to someone elses whims.

Civil Rights is a great start BUT it's simply a start.

“Gluten free” is becoming progressively easier to manage in Australia as the diagnosis of Celiac’s become more prominent, however this highlights the discrepancy between research into Celiac’s “how and why”, and gastro issues steaming from something Neurological like Asperger’s. Those that have gluten intolerance but are not “Celiac’s” are labeled as hypochondriac’s or “fussy eaters” etc and cannot join groups like the Celiac’s Society which provides support, advice and food coupons to assist with living “Gluten Free”… Without an “official” diagnosis somehow it is less important that we can’t eat wheat…

I’m really interested in Nutrition though, and it did get me thinking when you questioned whether these dietary concerns where somehow related to Aspie sensory issues.

Sensory issues cause: Anxiety and stress. I have an acquaintance at work who is female and has IBS. She is not an Aspie (that I know of!) but has analyzed her own symptoms and knows that she holds her stress in her gut, therefore “fueling” the IBS. She recently broke up with her boyfriend (twice…) and almost ended up in hospital with a bowel obstruction! OUCH. No predisposition – no family history, just personal levels of stress.

Don’t fit in? Can’t understand the world? Get bullied? = Stress and Anxiety

During the course of my internet travels I recall reading bits and pieces thrown into other forums which included an Aspie girl writing about how she too knows that her stress is held in her stomach (and I’m not sure HOW people know this…I don’t think I pay much attention to where my stress is “held”) but she wrote about how the vibration of her cat purring whilst lying on her stomach made the stress ebb away.

Stress effects the body (and mind) in very strange ways and sensory issues would be pretty much “from birth”…so this “overload” might be what has – and always will – change our dietary afflictions. Now, I’m not 100% sure where I’m going with this but maybe if it somehow gives relief to someone then it has been time well spent typing! If other avenues have been explored and food intolerances are difficult to manage due to money, time or energy then perhaps the symptoms of IBS etc can be subdued somewhat through the concentrated efforts of relieving stress in the stomach.

How…? I’m still working on that! My cat is very disobedient when I request that she purrs with specific intent on my stomach…Massage would be good...but expensive. Same with acupuncture. Someone has been nice enough to invent a vibrating heat pack though – I might try that in a quiet space to help forget the world and if I get positive results then I’ll let you all know.

....WARNING: this test may require the use of CHEESE...

cheese is proof that god loves us.

Chese causes autism?

Thanks I needed a good laugh today.

Benny Hill is good for a laugh too.

I'm not so sure about cheese. When I was younger, I did used to often look at the planet Venus through a telescope - perhaps that is the reason. Or maybe this just proves that the planet Venus is actually made of cheese.

venus is just a big bubbling ball of brie.
