OK, I'm very new here. In fact, I only figured out I am highly likely to have Aspergers about 2 weeks ago.

I'm 45 years old and while I knew there were a lot of things that were very difficult for me, the fact that I otherwise had a very normal life, I never even considered the possibility. The reason I checked into this in more detail was that I saw a movie on TV about someone that had Aspergers and some of that characters' conditions hit very close to home. Before the discovery I assumed that my "problems" were caused mainly by nothing more than a high level of irritability, poor hearing, maybe a low level version of ADHD and perhaps some other psychological issues brought on by my genetics and/or my upbringing. So I was pretty surprised to say the least (yet somewhat relieved because it gave me clarity) to self-diagnose myself as having Asperger's Syndrome.

So I score very high on most of the tests. I'm planning on getting a professional diagnosis...but let me get to the good news for me:

For a Christmas present, my wife bought me some Jiaogulan Tea. The reason she bought it is that its supposed to be great for overall health and wellness. Also, she said the girl at the store who sold it to her say that people drink it for longevity. Well, little did I know that there could be a LOT MORE benefits than just longevity.

I can say that its created a remarkable transformation in me. My ability to be calm has improved tremendously. This is the main thing I notice, that is, the "calming effect". Its a total game changer, I would say almost a total miracle. In comparison, when I first wake up in the morning and haven't had any Jiaogulan I feel like a nervous wreck (which would be my "normal" abnormal condition).

I really don't feel on edge any more. And not everything I see, do and hear is so intense, so serious and so important. When the phone rings, when there is a sudden or unexpected loud noise, when someone unexpected comes to the door, unplanned events interrupt me, somebody says something that would normally irritate me, none of this really affects me the way it used to anymore. I think I am finding myself a little more sociable because I feel more patient and willing to listen to others more. I'm not in such a hurry to get "my say" in. Because it doesn't seem as urgent. My thoughts, my ideas, my needs are still important to me, its just the intensity to which I sense these things has decreased significantly. I feel like this is probably the way most other people feel, at least to a degree, though of course I have no way of knowing for sure.

Now as far as how I can take this and what it means I don't know yet, that is, how can I make the best use of my new found calmness. But I do know that its the tea and nothing else and its not my imagination either.

I hope that at least one person here on this board will try it and that they too will have positive results. Maybe there is something to this, hopefully its not just me ! !

This reads to me like spam. In 2 weeks you discovered a brand new treatment for AS that is available over the counter and without a physician? Do you also happen to hold sole North American distribution rights to this wonder-tea?

Yup.

Spam.

Spam it may be but I just looked it up on Amazon and there are many, many people selling it and it comes out to about 25 cents a tea bag from many of the sellers. So exclusivity from the spammer isn't possible. Nobody else seems to be making any autism claims (on Amazon, at least). Mostly it looks like your standard anti-oxidant claims.

For one cup of pure liquid hope.

Better sip it slowly.

Hmm. If this had come through the usual EMail channels then my spam filters would have shot it on sight...

Attempting to prey on the disabled to make a sales pitch. Scuzzbucket.

Gonna tell parents of Downs Syndrome kids that Boresha coffee makes them smarter?


If you want tea that has a calming effect try Chamomile. Won't cure your AS, but it takes the edge off an anxiety attack.

If this was spam then wouldn't I be pushing a specific brand or website ? Does it sound like I'm trying to make a buck ?

Yes, only 2 weeks or so, I'm not going to try and defend myself. It is what it is, I'm just reporting my story.

These replies are upsetting to me. :cry:

Well I'll get back to my life and check on this thread every few days, hoping that at least one person will get something positive out of it.

At least you are looking at this objectively.

I'm sure its different for everybody, but it worked for me, not saying its cured anything, certainly hasn't cured my suspected A/S, I still have what I had before, but its possible that this will make my life much easier and it may be able to help others too.

That's a lovely welcome you've all given this guy, bravo for making him feel good. I was being sarcastic.

Welcome to WP. I believe you are not here as a spammer.

Tea has been known to cause a calming effect in some people. Did any of you see a link to a website? A brand name? This guy has merely found something that works for him. As he says, he hasn't been cured by this, it has just helped.

Just a word of advice... don't try medicating with coffee! It goes the OTHER way!

Can we stop jumping to the spam conclusion? People that spam leave links and have a name about the product.

Someone was just happy to see their symptoms alleviated from tea.

It's like me saying fish oil gives me focus which it does. Or that certain vitamins help alleviate autistic symptoms which they do. There was a thread on that awhile ago which I think the spam question was brought up in too.

Gator it's great that you found something to help your symptoms. Decreases sensory issues you say? I have horrible sensory issues. Maybe I'll give it a try if I can find that type of tea.
