Hey, kids, wanna try schizophrenia?

"Withdrawal symptoms may include auditory hallucinationsvisual hallucinationstactile hallucinationsdelusionsconfusionagitationdeliriumdisorientation, fluctuation of consciousness, insomniadizziness (feeling faint), nausea, inattention, memory impairments, perceptual disturbances, pruritus/itching, anxietydepersonalizationhypertoniahyperthermiaformal thought disorderpsychosismania, mood disturbances, restlessness, and behavioral disturbances, tachycardiaseizurestremorsautonomic dysfunctionhyperpyrexia (fever), extreme muscle rigidity resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome and rebound spasticity.[15][16]"

 

Stopping baclofen is generally fine provided you taper down your dose gradually over one or two weeks.

 

Whereas with benzodiazepines, for some people the tapering down process can produce horrible symptoms, and can take as long as 6 to 12 months.

 

Big difference.

You know what is funny? I have not followed your post for a while, busy with other stuff but in the meantime I discovered Carnosine as well independently.. I somewhere read that Zinc-carnosine helps with healing the gut and is like a 200-fold better supplement than others for this job so that is when I tried it for the first time. Just last week I ordered some pure L-Carnosine at a higher dose (500mg) and I immediately felt somewhat different, socializing suddenly became somewhat easier during Xmas. It was a strange experience really.  

 

Because I react so positively to "autism supplements" (DMAE, Carnosine, Zinc ..) I am currently leaning more towards Asperger as well. I first thought it was all just caused by celiac so underwent a strict diet for a quarter but when I am under stress I really have problems identifying faces and other typical symptoms. I also have dealt with a lot of OCD this year which seems to go away now that I take Carnosine (chelation I guess?)

 

Anyway, be careful with not overdosing Zinc-carnosine: http://fixyourgut.co...zinc-carnosine/

 

.. I am now considering trying Memantine just to confirm that I react positively to specific supps, have you tried that one? I am no longer on Tianeptine due to adverse reactions. I also avoid Pregnenolone now and 5HTP does no longer seem to do much. Carnosine is like the holy grail right now 

 

PS Hope you had some good holidays so far.I will try to post more frequently here again

 

 

thanks for chiming in on this. carnosine is the only supplement so far that seems to work for me with no tolerance. i took it for 3 weeks straight and then i stopped for holidays as i was traveling a bit and the feeling of anger and gloom&doom slowly came back. I just restarted it today and fell like a new person again.

keep us posted, please.

I thought i would update the discussion here. I've been taking that 500mg carnosine for a couple of month now, and I feel i'm functioning better at work with better motivation and productivity and less distractions (not yet 100%). I don't feel the stimulation after 2 hrs like at the beginning, only when i rarely take a double dose. I'll increase the dose after getting a cheaper supply of powder.

 

in the meantime, i came across this when i asked google if autistic people have lower verbal intelligence i like i seem to have: https://www.scientif...-autistic-kids/

 

 

The average child will score around the same percentile for all these tests, both verbal and nonverbal. But an autistic child will not. Isabelle Soulieres, a researcher at Harvard University, gave a group of autistics both WISC and the Raven test to measure the difference between the two groups. Although she expected a difference, she was surprised at just how big the gap was. On average, autistic students performed 30 percentile points better on the Raven test than on WISC. Some kids jumped 70 percentile points. "Depending on which test you use, you get a very different picture of the potential of the kids," she says. Other studies have confirmed this gap, although they found a smaller jump between tests.

[...]

The hidden potential of autistic people seems to fall in common areas—tasks that involve pattern recognition, logical reasoning and picking out irregularities in data or arguments.

 

 

This mirrors my own experience. even though my IQ was not formally evaluated, i took some online tests a few times and I struggle some on the verbal part. on the other hand, anything graphical (like this example from the article) i get with ease:

the-hidden-potential-of-autistic-kids_3.

 

I'm also very good at what i do for a living, which is basically dealing with complex problems or images and spotting abnormalities and irregularities. I'm excellent with critiquing scientific papers finding all kinds of flaws and mistakes with ease. As a young child i was very good with spotting any imperfections and correcting other people. Took me a long time to learn it was not socially acceptable. I guess i'm lucky i'm a curious person who got interested in sciences and found a career where i could take advantage of my autistic skills. maybe i'll write a book at some point? it has been a long journey from a small village in a poor country, being socially ostracized to becoming a college professor in USA, well liked by the students. Yet, at the same time, that career would be impossible in my native country. Go figure.

I am taking about 1g and your experience mirrors mine but I still notice some stimulation. It is mild but noticeable. When I take 1g on too many days I get some eyelid twitching so I have to dial it down. Yes at 1g it is rather expensive, should probably look into powder as well. I find the 500mg is a little more balanced anyway. The difference is quite remarkable, Ive become more chatty and I no longer obsess over things so much and can change my routine more easily.

Looks like you found a great fit then, good for you! I am somewhat struggling. I used to run my own business, now I am investing/trading but the stress of the emotional rollercoaster is somewhat too much on my health. Took me a long time to find a balance and not be affected by it so much. Trading is also a lot about finding patterns but also market and sentiment analysis which I like even more.   

 

I have a very good eye for photography and I am thinking about doing it professionally but not sure if that would be enough to make a living these days especially since I would only do landscape photography. Dealing with clients is too much for me. I would prefer running a business again but the stress is even more than sitting at a desk and trading so still unsure what my future holds.

There are several digital services which sell photos and clip-art for stock photographical purposes these days - usually it's too mind-numbingly annoying for most people to crank out enough generic pictures to get a decent living out of having exclusive stock on most big sites though.

 

EXCEPT... you are not neurotypical! ; ) Here then, is where your Autistic skills could be put to the test - if you crank out enough generic photos and clip-art, you should be able to go past the critical mass required to get a salary out of selling stock-photos! :D

 

Pepper this then as well, with TWO different BLOGS about Photography! Niche blogs with unique content gets visitors, and with the right ad-revenue, you can then amass a little bit of money from that as well. Again, here normal people would simply give up after a while, and not post enough content to get NICHE visitors, but YOU... you could do it!

 

One of the blogs could be about the HISTORY of photography, and another could be simple tutorials and data on the mathematical concepts behind what makes for a good picture, a shot which engages the eye. (lots of info about applied fibonacci-sequences and the golden mean, and stuff like that - the rule of three as well.)

Funny that you mentioned these. I was attracted to both. Unfortunately I have no talent for trading. I lost more than I'm comfortable to admit. Fortunately, I can afford that.

I did a lot of photography in my youth. Mind you, I put together a full fledged darkroom and I did my own color prints by hand (not easy). I did service a few wedding and balls, but i had a hard time selling the services and products.

It took me a few different trials to find my nishe.

It just occurred to me, a big part of my problems (especially in my youth) is/was perfectionism. Like I said above, I'm very good at finding flaws (including myself). Furthermore, ADD like issues made me behave less than perfectly and that was a big emotional burden that created a few breakdowns.

That also helps to explain why I have this huge problem with procrastination.

Life finally thought me to accept myself. The only reason I mention this here is apparently perfectionism/procrastination are known to be common in AS/autism, supporting my self diagnosis.

i know inositol is one of the better studied agents for ocd/anxiety, but you have to take like 30g daily.  any serotonin modulator should work just dandy: bacopa, lithium, ginkgo, rhodiola, magnesium, etc.  ginkgo would help with procrastination too.  but honestly with all this talk of add, breakdowns, procrastination, perfectionism, etc etc, i think your diagnosis is more likened to schizotypal disorder..

 

as for the "aspergers" itself, did you try the bee pollen?  take it with other stuff for anxieties and depressions (e.g. with exercise and meditation) and it really helps access parts of the brain which normally you shouldn't.  this way it really feels you can learn everything needed and perform with half or two thirds the effort

I thought we talked about it earlier in the thread? Or was it schizoid?
I'm going to look into that for completeness, but at the first glance, I have no magic thinking for sure.

Neither do I. I don't even have paranoia (I really don't). But the fact that you have sexual partners and I presume friends you go to parties with and 'have a good time with,' it's almost unthinkable you are schizotypal or schizoid or the third.

schizoids are generally defined by a profound and voluntary social withdrawal, in your case it seems more unwillful.  you don't have to have all the features to meet the diagnosis, and from what i gather  the magic thinking tends to be almost subclinical except in the worstly affected patients.  psychiatrists also don't like grey areas because of personal reasons... the real you, jack black in the flesh, he could be a very different man.  a phenotype somewhere on the aspergers-schizoaffective-ADD continuum.  watch out, nigguhs lurking in the bushes today, tomorrow he leaps out like a national geographic muthafucka and rises to make heath ledger look like some punk chewing straw in 6th grade theatre

for completeness, i took a few online questioners for schizoid/schisotypy and got inconclusive results (some positive, some negative), It should be noted the online questioners are not to be trusted. I guess because those tests came back + for ADHD, ASD, AS, BPD, BiPD, and depression.

 

the most comprehensive personality test is here: http://www.4degreez....isorder_test.mv

 

and I got this puzzling result (below). I don't think it could be trusted either, because based on that i should be in jail or asylum, while i'm a highly functional professional with moderately successful family life.

Yo Jack! = ) I just thought I'd mention it here - have you tried Fasoracetam? The results from the first two studies on the treatment of ADHD have finally been published!

 

What I found especially interesting is that they've found a potential genetic link between ADHD and Aspergers! The implication seems to be that there's a specific form of mutation which some who have BOTH disorders, seem to all share - those are also the children whom benefited the most from Faso. They also seem to believe that Faso actually shows promise for the treatment of ASD! :D Well, as long as it's connected to this specific genetic variation. (btw, it should, in light of this, be especially noted that Faso primarily works through the modulation of GLUTAMATE - and as you recall, those systems may be heavily implicated in ASD)

 

Perhaps you can find a service which can test you for that Copy-Number-Variation? That, or just try Faso - it's not that expensive online, and it could be useful for certain purposes anyway.

 

http://www.longecity...re-in/?p=813584

 

 

Also, don't worry too much about these online tests - me, personally, I would say they are inconclusive, that's my big take-out from them. If anything, I'd say they confirm your suspicions of Aspergers, because of the high volumes of avoidant and obsessive behaviour you scored in.

 

And hey, if you haven't started believing Santa Claus is out to get you yet, passing well into your prime, then honestly, it won't happen. And yes, as you say, you actually have SUCCESS in your life! Let me tell ya', I wish every day that I have what you have - you've got the dream, man!

Stinkorninjor,

thank you, thank you, thank you. i really appreciate your common sense and the news on Fasoracetam. I was not aware of that compound or the study and need to study it more.

but, the part from the above referenced thread gives me some hope (i do see that emotional dis-regulation in myself and some family members, hence I considered that Borderline PD ran in my family):

 

Patients bearing mutations in CNTN4 exhibited a unique and more severe ADHD phenotype. Compared to other ADHD patients, they had significantly higher rates of parent-reported behaviors suggestive of emotional dysregulation, including: disruptive behavior, anger control, risk-taking, and inappropriate movements and sounds.

 

 

BTW, you're a fine young man and will do well in life. I promise.

you just diagnosed yourself with an internet test.  don't you think it's time you reconsider your life?  the percentages are right on top of each other anyways man.  can't diagnose yourself if you haven't got any self-confidence, can ya then?  well get a grip then man.  i was in a similar situation but no family or professional success, everyone on the block and from high school had turned their backs on me.  had to do a lot of soul searching.  still am
 
the OCD and anxiety (avoidant) often come together.  strong association.  so do dependent and borderline, histrionic and narcissistic, avoidant and paranoid, and schizotypal and antisocial.  i wouldn't rush for faso.  turmeric is a great glutamateric supp.  ginkgo for dopamine, and maybe bacopa for gaba.  keep in mind these herbs are no where near perfect (neither is faso), so it will almost certainly be a process of trial and error as you find things which work (and which don't) for you as an individual

WTF?

half of the stuff you post here makes no sense to me. initially, i thought i was dense, but now i'm thinking, it's you.

 

Coming back to the issue of AS or ASD, i just heard on the news interesting results with micro-brains in a petri dish vs autism: http://www.npr.org/s...sm-and-epilepsy

 

 

Pasca says the cells did migrate, in a surprising way. "They don't just simply crawl, but they actually jump," he says. "So they look for a few hours in the direction in which they want to move, they sort of decide on what they want to do, and then suddenly they make a jump."

Pasca suspected this migration process might be disrupted by a genetic disorder called Timothy syndrome, which can cause a form of autism and epilepsy. So he repeated the experiment, using stem cells derived from the skin cells of a person who had Timothy syndrome.

And sure enough, the cells carrying the genetic mutation didn't jump as far as healthy cells did. "They moved inefficiently," Pasca says.

Next Pasca wondered if there might be some way to fix the migration problem. He thought there might be, because Timothy syndrome causes cells to let in too much calcium. And he knew that several existing blood pressure drugs work by blocking calcium from entering cells.

So the team tried adding one of these calcium blockers to the petri dish containing clusters of brain cells that weren't migrating normally. And it worked. "If you do treat the cultures with this calcium blocker, you can actually restore the migration of cells in a dish," Pasca says.

 

Now, the experiment involved Timothy syndrome vs control and can't be generalized to all types of autism or epilepsy, nevertheless the calcium connection is puzzling. we do know that calcium is part of excitotoxicity mediated by NMDA stimulation.

 

we also do know that calcium blockers (CCB) are neuroprotective:

 

 

 CCBs are antihypertensive agents that block various cal- cium channels, preventing the influx of calcium into the cell. Hypertension is a risk factor for dementia in general and AD in particular and increase of intracellular calcium is often one of the initial signs of neuronal cell death in neurodegenera- tive diseases. An in vitro study has suggested that blockade of specific calcium channels are necessary for CCBs neuroprotective effects from a-beta associated neurotoxicity (e.g., P/Q- and N-type calcium channels) [201]. CCBs can further be divided into dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine classes.


Most of the CCBs studied in AD are of the dihydropyridine class. Some of the physiologic effects observed with these compounds include improvement of regional cerebral blood flow (nilvadipine), reduced a-beta levels (nilvadipine, nitrendipine), antiinflammatory effects (nimodipine), and neuroprotection (isradipine, nimodipine) [202-206]. Several dihydropyridine CCBs have demonstrated the ability to lessen cognitive decline. Although correcting hypertension is likely beneficial in itself, clinical efficacy has occurred regardless of baseline hypertension status [207]. Treatment effects may also depend on BBB permeability as nilvadipine, a highly liphophilic and BBB permeable CCB, prevented cognitive decline in MCI patients whereas amlodipine, which has low lipophilicity and BBB penetration, did not demonstrate this benefit [208]. CCBs in general are also well tolerated [207]. A Cochrane review of the subject concluded that nimodipine may offer some benefit in the treatment of dementia caused by AD, vascular disease, or a combination of the two conditions [209].

 

Edit, for the person who just voted this post "pointless, timewasting" : fuck you too!

it's not just dense, get it right.  it's idiosyncratic, pretentious and unrelatable.  circumstantial too

 

but i'm guessing you haven't got round to trying the bee pollen, nor have you gone reading random quotes or blog posts in search of inspiration?  hope you find it in your petri dish and calcium channels

you complain about aspergers but won't take a supplement with evidence behind it (bee pollen).  what's more humorous is the fact that you don't even seem to have the condition of which you complain.  no matter, i think bee pollen would help both phenotypes...  but oh yeah youre all about that calcium, sorry... a certain german mineral water has lots of calcium and magnesium.  you could also seek out calcium channel inhibitors, but i don't know what sort of solution you had in mind?  theres plenty of overlap here (calcium) between schizotypic and autistic traits, so a solution should kinda work both ways

 

people amaze me with their lack of ingenuity.  they'll buy a bottle of C4 containing ingredients that you need a damn chemistry degree just to pronounce and whose bottle bears a cute little label saying not fda approved or causes cancer in california or something along those lines.  but because their friend or the radio told them oh man yeah this is the stuff, theyll lend it more credibility than a tub of royal jelly that has words like "royal energizer" and "organic" and is actually good for you.  why do people have such beef with herbalists?  cant just take my bee pollen and put a sock in the whole calcium proposal can ya?

 

and i didn't put the timewasting comment on your post dammit, i put the informative one.  i changed it to cheerful in case you didnt believe me :sleep: not trying to get on your bad side, just trying to derail your thread.  err, contribute?

OK, I'm ignoring the above insults and came back just to update the thread that's the closest to my selfdiscovery.

 

Reading some other threads here made me realize that aggressiveness and overeating are very common in autism (I had no idea whatsoever).

Guess what, I have both. I can have a short fuse when provoked and had angry outbursts when young. Fortunately, I learned to control that when I matured.

Overeating has been my life struggle, but I'm making some progress with my existing stack fixing 70% of it and I'm currently experimenting with adjustments it to have covered 100%.

Here is my recent thread with some results (and questions): http://www.longecity...vs-weight-loss/

 

The way I understand overeating is so prevalent in autism, it's self-treatment for generalized/social anxiety that we have because we don't fit. There could be some self-stimulation aspect of it too. There are lots of good discussions on it like this: http://wrongplanet.n...ic.php?t=154467

 

@Stinkorninjor, based on your recommendation, I got some fasoracetam a month ago and got mixed results: more social and less tinnitus, but worsening of anxiety, procrastination, and poor motivation. I put it on hold for the sake of experimenting with other things/combinations.

 

@gamesguru, you really should watch what you say and write because you come out as an asshole, and readers are less likely to pay attention to your recommendations (that may be even good, who knows). Just to prove it to you that I'm open minded, I put that bee pollen on my to do list and will order soon. happy?

@jack how much fasoracetam did you try? Try sublingual, that's what gets the best impact for me.

 

Also anyone else read this blog - https://epiphanyasd.blogspot.com ? Lots of useful details in there.

 

Will try Carnosine myself.

I have the polar opposite of Asperger's and it seems very rare, i cannot find anyone with my level of sociability, empathy, reading people so well, rapport and social intuition, social sensibility and etc. sucks having this and being forced-alone because its very damaging   I dont get why autism is so far up on the rise and theres like no one whos hyper-social and empathic. Its like i encounter 1000 people and 1000 out of 1000 are all on the autistic side to various degrees and look retarded socially in some way shape or form. 8 women since 1999 dumped me suddenly for no good reason then showed life improvement instead of any missing me or caring about it all ruined. then friends and aquatainces did the same thing, turned on me and got hostile then abandoned me... all them were much less good at reading people and communication that I was. Its like everyone is a sociopath.or autistic or both.

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!" "Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

Meeting this many people with social or emotional deficits is statistically highly, highly improbable - it should also be noted that Autism becoming more common is not an accepted scientific theory - the predominant perception in the field is that it has more to with awareness being greater, and more people actually taking the time to get themselves tested - as well as Dr's imploring parents of autistic children to test themselves - most have Autism in one form or another themselves, and not just their children.

 

There's also the fact that more women get the diagnosis as well, since the criteria has evolved, and the spectrum-view-point have become the dominant one in the field - i.e, as long as you get more than a certain amount of points in various domains, then you are eligible for the diagnosis. (I support this viewpoint btw - it's more helpful than a set number of symptoms)

 

Finn also has a point - perhaps there is something in yourself that you are missing, and need to look closer at?

 

My own personal note may that you could have Borderline - some people with disease whom I have interacted with online, sometimes describe themselves similarly - the fact that you have faced social rejection is an implicating phenomenon - many people with Borderline often face significant social rejection, without realizing the cause, until they receive a diagnosis.

 

Please give these ideas some consideration - Please believe me - I am not saying this just to be contrarian or to be hurtful - I honestly think you may have some type of neuropsychiatric disorder - many of your posts are written in a peculiar kind of way, with this strange sort of aggression that seems often excessive.

I have to consult my notes, it was a while ago. Fascinating reading at the linked blog. Will take some time to digest.

Higher fluid intelligence – scientists in Japan have recently discovered that AS children have a higher fluid intelligence than non-autistic ..

People with autism don't really have an social problems. the problem is with the norm who are socializing wrong and fake emotions.
