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.

  • Thanks for clarifying, Scorpion. However, what I was arguing against was precisely the view that auto-immune disorders are more likely in autism, and there is no conclusive evidence behind this statement; by conclusive, I mean the removal of all doubt.

    I am glad you disagree with the medicalization of autism, but by suggesting people with autism are more likely to also be genetically predisposed to the medical conditions you mention, this does imply some pathology. Now, obviously, saying this is no argument against any evidence for a link, but the evidence in any case does not confirm any increased likelihood.
