Questions about folic acid

Autism is a human brain type, it has advantages and disadvantages like every typical human brain. Personally, I think it's great! It would've been easier for me to navigate school and social life when I was young if my parents were aware how I processed information and how I learned information. I might have been further along in my field, but I have strengths that appear like 'super-powers' - I don't have super powers just like neurotypical individuals do not actually have telepathy, but in this society, they like to pretend they do and it works against individuals like myself who sometimes have language problems, but no problem identifying sound waves others cannot recognise. 

At this point in history, this wonderful human brain type is thought to be genetic. So perhaps someone in one of your families is more hyper-sensory, hyper-aware, makes faster connexions, seems a bit aloof or exotic or intense - would've had or possibly has this brain type. It's also possible the Duke of Edinburgh and his mother might have been Autistic - he presented in similar ways. Extra Folic acid or not. There is a wealth of information out there now. With the right mentoring and education, I wouldn't trade my brain for the other.

If you want to keep up your vitamin intake, everyone can take a multi created for your age and biology type. If your GP suggests that there is something your body needs, I find it good to follow their suggestions. 

A lack of nutrients can affect any brain type in a negative manner, similar to how a balanced diet for your body type and genetic make-up will do wonders for your biology. 

I do not want to be misunderstood. We are accepting the situation. And we are trying to adapt to living with this. We were just curried about folic acid topics.

Also, advice from the people like you will be very good for us too.

Such as, you mentioned, "It would've been easier for me to navigate school and social life when I was young if my parents were aware how I processed information and how I learned information.".

How are you processing and learning information? And how it must be our's approach.

Although, our child cannot speak yet. But of course, we are sure that he understands us because of the taking some commands.

As far as I know, everything is different for every people who have ASD. Anyway, maybe your thoughts can help us too.

Thanks.

In my experience, when parents take full responsibility for 'leading by example' and put themselves in service to their children's 'becoming' human, always affording them respect, seeking to understand, it does seem to follow they manage to raise well-adjusted adults. Autistic or not. I'm always amazed at parents to throw a wild amount of expectation and demand on their children to meet the parents needs, but I suppose that's a symptom of other control issues, and at base, a lack of maturity. So that you're seeking to understand, is of no small matter :)

If the autistic brain is constantly making more connexions, is a little more hyper-active and hyper-aware, then internally, too much is happening all at once. For me, my external life is organised, with very little clutter and very little on the walls. My brain is already like a disaster of a library, so my external surroundings are controlled. Further, I am not screamed at by LEDs, my living space is mostly halogen or incandescent. I try to steer clear of plastic based fibres (polyesters) as the skin cannot breathe; the more natural the world around, the easier it is to focus on my tasks or work schedule.

A chap I follow on twitter argues that due to autists being much more observant by nature, among other natural tendencies, we are rarely interested in competition, which society is driven by. autcollab.org/.../

Small talk is apparently a controlled game of assessing one another, language is used to dominate or command, and these hierarchal positionings which autistic individuals might observe but don't quite understand the point of, can create a sort of marginalisation. This is important because when parents assume their ASC child is using neurotypical games, they will immediately lose their children's trust. What follows is a sense of being unknown, being unseen and thus, trauma and anxiety. My grandmother instructed me to always be responsible for and toward my son. If he had a meltdown, abandon everything and take him to a quiet space and help him feel safe. My son rarely had them after the few times I did this when he was young. I simply taught him to trust I'd put his needs first. 

All children want to feel the safety and assurance of their parents approval, that their allowed room to fail and grow, and that they're important. Good manners toward them is naturally mirrored back. I have always said to my son, "how can I help" and he eventually started saying this to me. With ASC kids it's also important to explain the fundamental ethic behind an exchange as well. If Ian knows his auntie Tilly would crumble into a sad puddle for feeling a bit overweight, because society already makes fun of her, he would be game to withhold talking about it out loud when she was around. He just needs a little warning and to be given specific responsible tasks which are age appropriate: "Ask her about her dogs, she loves to talk about them." (for example). If he is taught how to engage so others will respond with delight, this influences his entire well-being. 

I feel as though individuals who enjoy deeper understanding, who don't mind becoming internally aware and furthering their own education as they grow through life might be well equipped with the ability to help their autistic child collect fundamental principles of systems, exchanges, equations, etc., as we seem to learn a thing better from it's molecular structure - rather than the other way around.

Thank you so much for all of your opinions. I read all of it, and I will try to understand it as deeply.
