Family history of migraines and seizures, which some hypothesize have the same root causes. Would be interesting to see GLP-1 tests on epilepsy.
My longest friend is hyper, smartest dude in the room but could not stay out of trouble. Right now, he is literally climbing up a mountain. Even today, I get so pissed at my adult peers who don't understand that that distracted kid is just wired different, not undisciplined. You can't change your neurology anymore than you can change your eye color.
Stims helped much more that antidepressants, but I burn thru catecholamine quickly. Vyvanse lasts maybe a few hours, by example. I've had days where I could take a stim, then fall asleep waiting for it to kick in. Its burn-out, and it sucks.
One thing that helped was NALT and Phenylalanine. Initially, 700mg of NALT was miraculous. Doesn't help so much any more, but I continue to take it. I suspect there are other things causing dopamine production bottlenecks and-or low storage of dopamine.
Gene test indicates I may not convert folate to methylfolate, which is important for the stress hormone cycle. You can supplement methylfolate but so far I've not seen improvement.
The ASD makes it very difficult for me to not call a spade a spade, especially around touchy-feely people. My ASD daughter is now in college, like me, struggling greatly with social. She's as liberal as it gets in a free society, but when the college offered group therapy she refused for the same reasons I hated all that groupology crap; you can't really speak your mind without getting ostracized.
Hey, that good work; We're almost there. Do you want me to suggest one more tweak that will improve the outcome?
2) ?
3) Profit!
You olds have all the money, all the time.
Sounds more like they want X to do the work for them.
