As an artist I also have many artist friends, many of whom I suspect would fit the diagnostic criteria for ASC.
The majority of those same people experience anxiety & stomach issues (IBS, IBD, etc).
So, this thread asks: Do any of you not get stomach issues every day/week?
...because I suspect this might be an interesting commonality between us all on the spectrum?
Could the difficulties we have to navigate day to day be interrupting our 'gut-brain-axis' and so be an easy to spot sign of an autistic person?
Sounds random now I write it, but I'm curious
Yes all the time. My stomach is all over the place. I have IBD which does not help matters.
And the medication I'm on causes stomach problems too.
