Geographic Tongue/Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Just wondering if many people suffer from teethgrinding or geographic tongue?

Also any tip on easing the conditions? Im in the process of waiting to get a diagnosis to find out if I'm on the spectrum, but just wondered if people on the spectrum sufferred from any of the above conditions as I do.

  • Depends what evidence you read.

    'Evidence' can be dodgy. Take Baron-Cohen's hypothesis on Testosterone and the Extreme Male Brain - quite frankly, a cover for sexism, pure and simple. Science made out to be objective can have a hidden bias. I am no expert, but I am sceptical about bio-medical theories behind autism, which is fundamentally a genetic personality difference, not a disease.
