So I did some research and autistic children have lower levels of GABA a neurotransmitter responsible for calming down the brain. But new evidence suggests autistic adults have a delayed response they are later to mature. Recent evidence suggests that young autistic adults (18-21) have similar levels of GABA to non autistic adults. And that by the time they reach the mid 20s (25+) they're GABA levels are actually indistinguishable from non autistic people not only that but autistic adults 25+ may actually have higher levels of GABA than non autistic adults. They think that the gaba deficit in childhood the brain and human body tries to correct the imbalance by compensation and pumping the brain fully of GABA over time. Hence why by 25+ the gaba levels end up being higher than normal. This makes sense to me because when I was a child I was socially inhibited and didn't barely speak (selective autism). However since reaching 25 I feel very disinhibited and anxiety free also I am very sociable which is a contrast to how I was as a small boy. What does everyone think about my revelation?
