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.

  • The studies are very dodgy. Based as they are on personal recollections through the use of a questionnaire, the studies are retrospective, 'suggestive' and 'exploratory'. 

    Referral bias is a real problem with these sorts of studies, and there is simply no conclusive evidence, yet; which is not say that no conclusive evidence will arise, but at present it is a mistake to jump to conclusions about the cause of ASC. And I am aware that genes do not work alone - see one of my posts in the 'extreme love' post-but this is precisely why autism is so complicated. Different things may 'trigger' autism in different people, excluding vaccines which the evidence is very clear on.
