Scientists have discovered that severe autism can be reversed, with symptoms reduced to an indistinguishable level in a groundbreaking trial involving non-identical twin girls in the US. The twins underwent a two-year program of interventions tailored to their needs, resulting in dramatic improvements in the severity of their symptoms. One of the twins showed such significant progress that her symptoms became indistinguishable from those of children without a history of autism. The other twin also experienced substantial improvement, although not to the same extent. The interventions included behavioral analysis, speech therapy, a gluten-free diet, and nutritional supplements. The study authors emphasize that while they do not use the term "cure," the improvements are expected to be long-lasting. The parents of the twins highlighted the importance of individualized support and a holistic approach in achieving such remarkable progress. The case study was published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine, shedding light on the potential for tailored interventions to address autism symptoms effectively.

i was classed high functioning but as soon as i hit 20 i feel like gotten less high functioning weirdly
Many parents carried guilt. Many parents transferred that guilt into anger at people like me (for some reason they thought that their child would get better care in an hospital setting) or would direct their anger inwards and feel terrible.
A simplistic headline, along with no actual research can only make thing worse for carers and families.
Families will demand more. Carers will have a harder job.
>The diet was casein-free, a protein found in milk; low-sugar; had no artificial colours or dyes; zero ultra-processed foods; primarily organic; and locally sourced
Aspergers can essentially be reversed. Level 2 and 3 can dramatically be reduced.
The thing that really upsets me, the anti-autism/adhd discrimination continues.
It kinda feels like it's pandering to the anti-modernity pseudo-science crowd to me.

Once again, this shows how important a balanced microbiome is for good lealth.
