Used to have a mix of what could be considered ADHD/light asperbergers. I dont eat carbs and mostly stick to a keto diet, it resolved many symptoms. Our food is poison
- 2four2 2y agoLots of carbs make me fall asleep and kill my motivation. My lunches at work are light and carb-free for that reason.
- manmal 2y agoDo you have microbiome dysbiosis? A keto diet might improve things (eg lower LPS production), but long term can diminish microbial diversity. I’m not saying keto is bad at all - it’s just that microbial diversity is an important predictor in GI health and one should keep an eye on that too.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 2y agoYeah i mean i know that keto isnt great, but it has changed my life to some degree. When in ketosis, i feel like i have "agency", otherwise i am this foggy headed, sloth
- hailruda 2y agoI can relate to this. Could you point me to any resources about keto diets?
- eadz 2y agohttps://www.metabolicmind.org https://www.metabolicmind.org is a non profit, with many MDs and PHDs dedicated to researching the link between metabolism and mental health, with a focus on keto diets.
- electrondood 2y agoI'm Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) and prefer low carb because I feel better, but it doesn't change my personality traits or cognitive tendencies one iota.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 2y agoI have a noticable ability to react quicker in social situations, im more "normal". Otherwise my brain is sluggish and i struggle to maintain conversation/things go over my head
- ffjffsfr 2y ago> what could be considered ADHD/light asperbergers could be considered, or did you get a diagnosis from a specialist? Self diagnosis is not reliable. If you don't have an official diagnosis you can't be certain you really have ADHD. There may be several differe tfactors relevant for YOU that make keto diet work for you. Same diet can be harmful for similar people who have ADHD.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 2y agoI have a diagnosis, i just dont trust doctors. please stop gaslighting me
- imtringued 2y agoYou gaslighted yourself by claiming you don't have ADHD/aspergers anymore. The only explanation is that you either never had it, which is closer to what you said or that you still have it, which is ignoring what you said.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoThey said it improved many symptoms.
- throwaway092323 2y ago> Self diagnosis is not reliable Professional diagnosis is not reliable either. ADHD and autism are often misdiagnosed as one-another, especially in girls. > If you don't have an official diagnosis you can't be certain you really have ADHD A lot of the time, the mental health professional making the determination doesn't have specialty in ADHD/Autism. All they're doing is looking at symptoms and making their best guess. Which is exactly what people are doing when they make a self-determination. In many cases, people with high-functioning autism know more about autism than the people who are supposed to know. And it's not like the diagnoses can be validated when we're still figuring out what autism even is.
