Dietary Changes pt 1

  There are ongoing studies examining the causes of this condition in individuals on the autism spectrum, as well as the underlying causes of the spectrum itself. But it’s been found that autistics and other neurodivergent people have a sensitivity to foods.   Scientists have found that staying away from certain foods, Gluten, casein, and processed additives, helps people with Autism become more social and functional. There is still speculation about whether this works, but I am living proof of it. When I was little, I was below size zero in clothes. I would eat food. There were constant doctor visits where they told me to eat more protein and drink protein shakes. I did exactly that. Nothing… My weight was embarrassing. I could only get clothes from the Gap outlet, which had jeans with elastic straps on the inside. I had to get those in a size zero with the elastic straps buttoned to the last notch. Playing outside was not easy either. Every time a kid falls on their butt...

Book Recommendations

 

Hello Everyone!


I hope everyone is doing well. To be honest with you, my schedule has been all over the place lately so this time I'm providing you with recommendations for books that I have found written by people on the spectrum.

As a writer, I wanted to see who else on the spectrum is writing about autism. I have heard of a few people such as John Elder Robison with his book Look Me in the Eye, along with Dr. Temple Grandin who wrote multiple books on autism and animal rights as well as being a public speaker. Below I posted two of her books. I have a copy of her Thinking in Pictures.

After doing some googling I was pleased to find even more books on autism written by authors that are on the spectrum themselves. I absolutely love that there are so many out there, and hope that one day mine will be out there as well. There can never be too many books on autism, and every writer is going to have their own thoughts and experiences with the autistic spectrum.


As for me, currently, I'm reading But You Don’t Look Autistic At All by Bianca Toeps and I am enjoying it.


I also found an entire list! I may not get around to reading them all, at least not at once, but I will definitely attempt to read them because one is never done learning! Here is a link to the list of books that I found:

I do have a tendency to start reading a book while in the middle of reading another. I am also reading Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches and Markus Zusak's The Book Thief in German.
