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.

  • The thing is though, Hope, that science nevers deals in certainity. There is always doubt. And ignoring something because there's room for doubt is as blinkered as believing something irrespective of a lack of evidence.

    All of science is based on the collection of increasing amounts of doubtful evidence until one has enough such doubtful evidence that the evidence outweighs the doubt.

    Now, I don't think we've completely reached that point yet with the apparent comorbidity of Autism and autoimmune disorders, and I may well just have not seen any reports of any studies that go counter to that hypothosis, but, from what I have seen, there certainly seems to be growing evidence for it, and that, in and of itself, is highly suggestive that we will reach the point of the evidence outweighing the doubt before very long.

    And again, that still wouldn't even imply a causal link. Just a correlation. But that correlation is interesting as it what it does imply is some kind of relationship, of the type I described in my earlier post, between the underlying genetic causes of the two seperate conditions.

    Which can only be a good thing for the understanding of both sets of conditions.
