I'm old, and have been studying this stuff for decades, but no longer have any idea where I encountered specific pieces of it.

1. there is an individuation-forcing mechanism in human brain-developoment, where the tissue in the child-identity portion of the brain gets decimated, manufacturing a "teenager".

2. this *local*-decimation can go wrong, continuing through tissue that wasn't supposed to get decimated..

3. "all autistics are undermethylated-DNA", from William J. Walsh's "Nutrient Power" book.

I've *replicated* his undermethylated-DNA disorder treatment, and it definitely works, so anybody declaring there's "no evidence", "no basis", or "no science" behind it, can go eat rocks.

Undermethylated-DNA ( without the "disorder" ) alters a person to be more

* perfectionistic
* high-strung
* symbol-fixated
* driven
etc.

Undermethylated-DNA *disorder* is when it's deformed one's mind to the point that it's creating problems.

From what I can see, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Richard Feynman ( with his obviously-autistic body-language, in the videos of him ), Tom Cruise, & probably Taylor Swift, all look undermethylated to me.

I'm not accusing any of them of being in undermethylated-DNA *disorder*, however.

Walsh discovered that there is a means of treating undermethylated-DNA disorder, and it works like this:

take SAM-e, enteric-coated, with clear water or unsweetened tea/coffee, 40-ish mins before breakfast, & keep doing that, until it "bites in", ( my term ), & works.

For me, it was about 3 months, then suddenly it was obviously different.

I'd never, *in my entire life*, experienced zero-stress, before.

Never understood how different it felt.

Totally stunning, world-altering understanding, that.

4 months of Methionine supplementation also worked for me, but I obviously had the dose too-low, as it "took the edge off", but it didn't put me in zero-stress mode.

I've tested both of those methods 2 times, they work.

Walsh never explained about it having to be enteric-coated SAM-e ( otherwise it won't work, as the stomach-acid destroys SAM-e ), and he never explained that you had to not eat any carbs, or any sweetener of any kind, until *after* the SAM-e nausea hits you, for it to work.

Methionine also has a nausea effect, lesser than the SAM-e.

Walsh explained that autism *doesn't* need to smash a life, if you get the undermethylated-DNA treatment into your kid early enough, and I think it was before-11.

I'm lucky: high-functioning autism is much less abusive of me than low-functioning autism is of the lives it clobbers, so late treatment gave me leverage I needed.

I'm Vajrayana, however, & we push to do all our healing rooted in our minds, not in pills, so I'm hacking it without the chemical-help.

3. there is a mechanism in the wiring-up-then-pruning-down of a forming brain ( human brains are fully-formed in the early-20's, with myelation finishing then, & other processes calming down then, too )..

whereby the intenser the undermethylation, the *steeper the slope* of the wiring-up & pruning-down.

( I bet my life on this: it is a scientifically-testable-prediction that fits all the evidence, even if no institutional-scientist has noticed it ).

In autism, remember all autistics are undermethylated-DNA, the wiring-up happens a bit too steeply, & the pruning-down *definitely* happens too-steeply & too-deeply.

What does this do?

it produces a deficit-brain.

In *my* case, it means that I'm mentally-"deafblind" to social-process, to social-consensus, etc.

I'm a bulldozer among a suite of svelte sports cars, and not welcome because of how I "wreck the vibe" of acceptable people.

Which is fine by me.

It *also* means I'm defecient in understanding diversity-of-mental-others, so some understandings that others definitely have, I'm only-now finding-out that they exist ( after studying human-mind for decades ).

Some autistics are deficit in social-process, others are deficit in other ways.

4. you may have read about "idiot savants" *who were produced through brain-injury*..

as-in somebody had part of their brain destroyed, & suddenly they became a super-calculator for some *specific* kind of thing, potentially music-ability, or estimating bricks, or whatever...

That is key evidence: Normal sentience is *balancing* resource-contention between all sorts of different capacities, including social-process/social-consensus..

However, with my social-process/social-consensus/social-process-addiction circuitry *deficient*, then .. *other* circuitry works better, it works with less contention, see?

but social-process is overload, to the degree that I'll probably never watch a movie ever again ( been a decade since I last endured watching one on a computer ), and if I never have to be among people again for the entire rest of my life, that's good with me.

But I'm one *hell* of alot better than normal at understanding systems ( that interest me, like earning good intuition re fluid-dynamics, or solving psychology without Western-psychology's ignoring/denying of the Buddhist 51-mental-factors, e.g. ).

So, *we had our balance destroyed, & in exchange we get specialized-capabilities, & endless stress-dysfunction* ..

.. remember I said that the Methionine supplementation can "take the edge off"?

That's important.

For me, it removes some of my *drive*, though.

the SAM-e, which *removed* my stress, removed my academic-drive.

There's no point in *me* living that way: I NEED academic-drive.

So, .. I ended up ditching the help, though I've got some methionine for "taking the edge off" if life ever gets too cutting-into-me, and I know it'll take months for it to work..

So, we've got the undermethylation-disorder, we've got the derailed-brain-development-process produced deficit, what else is there?

continued in a follow-on comment, because the instance's max-character-limit is smaller than this..
