• RE: Nootropics?

    Thank you for this.  The part where you mention the ‘bleak journey’ feels like exactly where we are right now.  I understand to just go with it, but it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel as such. The diet is definitely something…

  • RE: Nootropics - where to start.

    I am a BIG supporter of Nootropics. I take an immune boosting suppliment which I've taken on and off for nearly 20 years, and now in my 50s take regularly. There is a lot of medical science out there to dig into regarding Autistic and ADHD differences…

  • RE: difficult autistic adult daughter

    Thankyou you have spotted one important theme " really painful to watch others thrive" this is probably the root cause. I will explore into the link you have shared and will try Nootropics too. She takes antidepressants rather high dose without much help…

  • RE: Sickness through anxiety

    I might suggest a mushroom gummy for kids, which is a natural nootropic supplement. Some companies have ones for daytime with Lions Mane and nighttime with Reishi, with little else added. The nice thing about these is they can't hurt to try, it's a bit…

  • RE: Gastro Intestinal...just a general discussion as it seems to be not looked into regarding autism

    You can get meds for it, but only from private. Also, they're incredibly addictive, so it's important to never take them more than a few days in a row and never with grapefruit. 

    However, a daily mushroom (nootropics) supplement  with reishi and…
