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
I've have a chronic, productive cough that can last for hours and this has been for over a decade.
I've had tests at the hospital and they believe that it's caused by stomach acid (I have a small hiatus hernia).
Medications might help but definitely don't eliminate it.
I've never come across/read about another person with this.
I've heard of dry coughs but not productive.
