I'm glad I found this. Seems that regardless of the genetic changes, the body tries to maintain an equilibrium, and in doing so, the over or under compensations of say neuropeptides, result in the symptomatic manifestations. I'm not a student or doctor, just trying to make sense of my own neurology so I can live life again.
he said something about enzymes what he means.also do you think a homeopath can help ?
@@narsreenjohnson4966 homeopathy doesn't work and it's not based on science. Please don't spend your money on those diluted water cures.
It really doesn't work.
It kinda does, mostly your body compensates for inbalances (like too much salt) in a more or less okay manner, but for a short time, after it can no longer compensate for it you start getting symptoms, for example eating too much salt will make you vomit, and feel thirsty at first, but if after that the problem is not fixed you will begin feeling more sick, and depending on how bad it is, you might end up dead or seriously damaged (salt poisoning, stroke, brain swelling).
This is just an example, for every "imbalance" there is a different compensation mechanism. To some the body is more terant than others. But in general yes, your body tries to compensate for things being off. And usually there's symptoms when the body is struggling, the more struggles thw more symptoms.
(Im very VERY general and simplistic here, but you get it).
Sometimes tho, this can be ireversible, as the brain changes and grows with time, so even if the problem is purely chemical, with time, the damage can be irreversible
@@amandarios448 Suggest you look up homeopathy's founder Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1760 to 1840 ish) who as a polymath, linguist, thinker and physician has a memorial dedicated to him on Scott Circle Washington DC!!! Interestingly there was a reception for 1,000 guests after the dedication at the White House!
@@velvetindigonight stop. Ew. This is people's health and it's giving people false hope. Don't fuck around with the anti-intellectualism rebranding.
The medical system is so flawed. But Frick homeopathy 🖕
memantine worked in my case. but expensive. i needed a high dose and tolerance has built up quickly.
I'm finding acamprosate is a very good adjunct with memantine.
Memantine isn't tolerance building, by the way. If you dont make necessary lifestyle changes along with the medication you can basically render the medicine useless by all the undue stress.
Also too high of a dose and the body will just produce more receptors creating a paradox.
Also memantine affects other cells too, not just neuronal cells and immune cells, but erythrocytes, smooth muscle cells and a number of others. It has an incredibly long half life because of all the cells it interacts with before leaving the body.
Also memantine is useless if there is no mg2+ ions present at receptor sites.
Lack of oxygen in utero?
Yes issues with pregnancy and preemie births. I. Guessing no amniotic fluid could cause this and likely other issues.
Giving truth to power 👏
props to you all, with the greatest of propaganda.
🥂 to keeping the lights on in your big rented academy rooms.

Why is differential diagnosis essential for diagnosing ASD?
Because ASD is very varied. So having a more specific diagnosis you can start researching better for a treatment.
For example, he showed examples where seizures are present. You can't medicate a child with seizures the same as one without seizures just because both have autism.
For example he mentioned phenylketonuria, which is very easy to fix, with diet and other things because it's simply a chemical/metabolic problem.
And that's why the faster, and more specific the diagnosis is it's best for the child and parents.
Basically autism shows in very many forms and doesn't have the same sources, so it needs different treatments. Sometimes there's a single cause, sometimes many things together cause it.
There’s a differential diagnosis for everything. It is important to rule out what it isn’t so you narrow the field of what it is. Is it just a viral sore throat or is it strep? Is it an allergic rash or is it chicken pox? Is it autism or is it PKU? If you test for possibilities and those tests are negative you have a much better idea of what you’re dealing with. Autism symptoms may be be very misleading. But I don’t think all these tests are done in your typical autism evaluation. So your question is entirely understandable.
If there are different causes of ASD, drugs or other interventions may only be effective for one type and not for others. A treatment will only get approval if it is effective, so if it can be found what cases it is effective for it will be get approved. If it is used in all cases willy-nilly, it wont be very effective and not get approved.
