"Am I Autistic" on Channel 5 (can stream)

I watched this and enjoyed it. I know one of the people in it personally and so was extra pleased with this show.

There are some interesting new theories too.

Parents
  • Read the write up on the programme. It looks like they're just covering stuff that everyone has went over already a million times in previous documentaries. For example - the myth of autism only occurring in boys. Yes this has been covered a million times it's not news to me anymore that girls get it just as much as boys so yeh not bringing anything new to the table there. Also - sensory processing difficulties and changing environments. Yes heard this already a million times again not news to anyone. Also not new - autistic people lacking empathy myth. This is an old one too. I really don't see the point in making documentaries that go over and over old information that has already been went over the enth degree. 

    On a positive note - I have discovered some new revelations with regards to my own autism. This is that I have discovered B vitamin deficiency appears to be responsible for many of my neurological ailments like light and sound sensitivity for example. All the B vitamins have a crucial role in the nervous system and brains function. I tried a B complex tablet as simple as it may be and I have found my light sensitivity and anxiety and migraine have subsided. This is amazing to me because I have tried every kind of other thing and found no relief but I decided to try some B complex and that seems to have done the trick. 

    Also I am a heavy alcohol consumer and so are all the autistic folks that I know and it is well known that alcohol depletes all B vitamins through intestinal inflammation which impacts negatively the absorption of B vitamins through food
