Geographic Tongue/Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Goatworshiper

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.

    Hope,

    I'm not saying, or even suggesting, that this correlation does in any way suggest a causal link between auto-immune disorders and autism!

    In fact, if I may quote from my first post in the thread:

    It's only a correlation, so, having an autistic spectrum disorder doesn't imply that you will have an auto-immune disorder, nor does having an auto-immune disorder imply that you will have an autistic spectrum disorder.

    But having an autistic spectrum disorder means you're more likely to also have an auto-immune system disorder.

    I was stating the complete opposite! Note the words "It's only a correlation", thus implying "no causal link".

    In fact the only serious studies I've seen to have even remotely suggested such a link have done so in the sense of asking the question "there appears to be a high correlation, could there be a causal link?" and all such studies that I've seen have come to the conclusion of "there's no clear evidence to support that hypothosis".

    It is only, what I'll refer to as, the 'autism-is-a-disease-that-must-cured-mongers' that take that stance - but they take that stance with anything and everything - it used to be 'poor parenting', then it was 'diet', or 'vaccines', now it's 'autism is an auto-immune disorder'.
