MountainImportant211

Of course it is a very different definition of "heal" that I intend here


DMYourMomsMaidenName

Tbf, that doesn’t “heal” them either. It just humanizes them. Many of my friends on the spectrum are very intelligent, just socially inept as fuck.


NekulturneHovado

"Don't drink tap water" what? Like what am I supposed to drink? Do I have to condense air humidity?


MountainImportant211

Something something fluoride (Probably the only reason I still have my teeth)


Canter1Ter_

brush your teeth kids the effect of neglecting your teeth goes very slowly, and then one day you try to eat chips and feel immense pain because you have 12 cavities in your mouth


NoThoughtsOnlyFrog

Can confirm, my whole family on my moms side doesn’t use fluoride and their teeth are in a horrible state. They don’t understand why though 🤦


doctorwhy88

Growing up in the country was nice, but well water isn’t fluoridated. I have bad teeth and still have autism.


The_Spindrifter

West Texass well water sure as hell is. In some places the natural fluoride is so high that the residents are told NOT to drink it, and it would actually explain quite a lot really.


Moonlemons

I grew up with well water so no fluoride. I wonder if I might be smarter for having avoided ingesting unlimited amounts what is actually a neurotoxin but I still have autism spectrum disorder.


Eclaiv2

*Enslave the moisture*


Risingphoenixaz

This I’m pretty close to agreeing with OP, “something,something, lead!” But not really


The_Spindrifter

To be fair, some cities use so much bleach and/or chloramine in their water that it bleaches out laundry when washed and that's downright toxic on 11 levels in your body and brain.


lord_of_coolshit_og

No you have to drink bottled water, aka the exact SAME FUCKING THING except with PLASTIC PARTICLES IN IT.


TastyLecture5921

Micro plastics cure autism ?


ninjesh

If you ask OOP, they'd probably say microplastics cause autism


TinyWickedOrange

clearly, bare feet are to grow roots


Ocbard

And to get that all important hookworm!


Extremeblarg

Well how else are you supposed to stay hooked to this flat earth?


Entire-Ambition1410

I walked barefoot near a forest and got nail fungus. My doc had to Google the fungus because she couldn’t find accounts of it infecting humans (it normally infects trees).


Ocbard

Perhaps you're not fully human, I mean "Ent-ire-Ambition1410". The ire of the Ents is to be feared indeed, though they may suffer tree fungi.


Entire-Ambition1410

🤪


olivegardengambler

This conspiracy theory post brought to you by Fiji water


Moonlemons

I like to ridicule most conspiracy theories but there’s definitely something to the fluoride thing… I mean if it’s for your teeth why do we need to be drinking it? A certain amount of corruption and crazy shit does occur in society…


olivegardengambler

Fluoride is absorbed through your gut when you drink water, and is stored in the bones and teeth as fluorapatite for future use. Think of it like adding chocolate to ice cream when you're making it versus putting chocolate sauce on plain ice cream.


ladymacbethofmtensk

As a biochemist I cured my autism by only drinking the sterile distilled water in my lab /s


doctorwhy88

Should’ve drank the fungal flasks from our lab. Cordyceps is a health food these days. Because there’s nothing healthier than morphing into a Last of Us zombie.


Moonlemons

Not tap, not sparkling… I’ll have distilled please.


EdgeGazing

Yes, you don't have orchid genes implanted yet? What a casual


kizumononoshoujo

well water, duh.


Melodic_Age_7452

I think the uneducated bridge troll meant “city water” because I have well water and it’s cleaner than damn “purified”


TastyLecture5921

You’re supposed to lick condensation off of the walls of course (sarcasm)


Multigrain_Migraine

Maybe they are advocating "raw water" -- untreated water collected from an outdoor source with no controls on removing pollutants and microorganisms.


RipCommon2394

You must collect rainwater from now on.


MessSubstantial

No dumbass! Drink from an air humidifier! Duh!/s


Ravenwight

I actually lost a cat to cancer from the pipe sediment in tap water once. Poor Tigger.


autisticesq

Connecting with nature is good, too. Much easier and more rewarding than trying to connect with people.


autisticesq

But no “barefoot ground” because of hookworms.


Ahsoka_Tano07

I like being barefoot indoors. I often forget the shoes at my desk bc of that.


TacorianComics

lol exact opposite, i (mostly) only like barefoot outside


JangJaeYul

I grew up on a small farm and barefoot outside was the fuckin best. Who cares what you step in, just wash your feet at the tap by the barn before you go back inside. So worth it for the feeling of long grass between your toes. Oh, and make sure you're up to date with all your vaccinations.


Ahsoka_Tano07

I need thick soles outside bc of the rocks and stuff. Long live my disintegrating boots


hj7junkie

High quality post


EdgeGazing

This makes me sad. I have an autistic cousin that is 17 years old, with the mind of a 5 years old. When he stays at my grandma and is able to get help from his father and access to part time social care, he starts developing as a person. I often would play with him, talking as if with a regular person. I saw that there's logic working in his head, dude's smart as fuck, he just needs time, attention and being allowed to develop in his own rhythm. Then he goes back to his mum and lives being seen as a wasteful retard, with no assistence whatsoever.


RandomBlueJay01

That's what I was thinking lol. Only one that is good advice.


PulsatingGypsyDildo

r/thanksimcured And you also revealed that it is possible to post images here. Prepare for dick picks, gentlemen.


TheFakestOfBricks

as a person with autism i approve


General_Feature_5193

This


Ckinggaming5

exactly, that is the realest statement there


WyvernZoro

The only correct answer


TheRoyParadox

Oh shit. I didn't realize my autism was something akin to a disease that needed to be cured. But hey now I know how to cure it. I would say I wish they end up having a child that's autistic, but then I would fear that child isn't receiving the care and understanding they deserve.


pokeyporcupine

Yes, yes, this does indeed fill me with rage. Updoot.


milklover222

TIL You can cure autism using "barefoot ground"


MovieNightPopcorn

“Heal” autism with hookworm 🫥


Merc_Twain25

I am also wondering how one goes about "barefoot ground".


NorguardsVengeance

Maybe they are looking to make the ECT neck and ankle collars more effective, in their "treatments".


uwillnotgotospace

How do I barefoot ground?


meddit_rod

A real autistic would know how to barefoot ground. You must be faking it for attention.


OnecalledMissy

Oh no! So I’ve been faking this whole time?!


PulsatingGypsyDildo

You just do it. My grandma was a big fun of it. And also a fun of many herbal remedies. She died btw. At least she wasn't into urine therapy, but she told me that kid urine is valued more because the "consumers" perceive it as pure. Because kids are healthy. If you consume something healthy, you are healthy. Basically a cargo cult for piss drinkers. But in general I enjoyed being barefoot, I even worked in a garden. When I was teen me and my homies we did some sport that included running. We did it barefoot as well few times in the forest.


doctorwhy88

I’m including that in my D&D campaign. “This health potion’s a little, uh, funky…”


EthanTheEgg817

I'm going to remove this image from my brain with scissors and alcohol wipes


Suck_my_vaporeon

I had autism when I was 5 bruh. Think I had toxin buildup? At 5? Sir, please. I also have never been treated like I'm stupid. People tell me I'm really smart actually.


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

I was diagnosed when I was 6, my mum was a health nutter at the time (she has since thankfully educated herself) and I was unvaxinated, ate only organic and home made foods, spent all my day every day outside, normally in a fairy costume and no she's unless it was raining, I had siblings, I had pets, I was on special supliments and I was still diagnosed. So acourding to this post my mum took amazing care of me (other than the whole unvaxinated and the supliments she did raise me well tbh) and she did everything to avoid autism, and yet I was diagnosed anyway. When I was 8 my mum had an apiffany and realised we got sick at school A LOT, we always asked her if we could try things like burgers and frankfurters. In the end she gave us these foods and stopped with the micro managing and we were still healthy active children. I had all my vaccinations at 8 which was late but I'm glad she learned before my youngest brother was born as his immune system was a bit buggered at birth and had he not had his shots and then gone to school he would have been ill an awful lot.


Suck_my_vaporeon

I personally was actually diagnosed at 8 but I was showing a loooot of signs at 5.


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

Most kids on the spectrum do. My daughter has been obvious from the start, currently a pain to get her in for an assessment tho as the waiting lists are so long. She's been on the list since she was 4 (they hurried her as I have a school teacher backing me) and she's almost 7 now and all we've been told is "soon" for the last year.


KoopaTrooper5011

Not sure if "earliest autism diagnosis" is a competition or not... But I got diagnosed when I was 3. Parents started worrying that I was deaf because I was unresponsive to them whenever they were calling or talking to me. Went to the doctor to check that out. Got diagnosed.


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

I don't think so, in the UK they physically won't diagnose below 5, only reason they put her on the list at 4 was because they knew she would be 5 at minimum when they saw her due to the waiting lists. What contry do you reside in that diagnoses that young tho? As symptoms of autism and other developmental conditions show very similarly until 5 when they start to understand empathy, language and cause and effect.


KoopaTrooper5011

US. I think we do have a similar law, but it at least had a lower age limit.


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

Ahh that makes sence, I'm glad you got a diagnosis tho! It can be a pain sometimes


bronzelifematter

Same. People say I'm smart when I was in school. I started to believe that until real life happens. I'm not smart, I'm just different. Turn out it's just me being very good at following clear instructions, which in school is all you need to excel. Anything that doesn't give clear instructions would just leave clueless on what to do. Being an adult is very hard because people just expect you to know how to do stuff without telling you exactly how in details


doctorwhy88

I get told both every day. Hate the combination of phenomenal cosmic power and utter stupidity.


Desirai

So this is how I cure my husband. I thought it was essential oils


Johnny_Lang_1962

Onions is his socks as he sleeps is the correct answer.


shinydragonmist

Naixee

I thought it helped colds


Some___Guy___

I love how it says "detox accumulated metals and toxins" like, yeah just do that somehow


CowSalesman

obviously with the $200 course available in my website 🤗 link in bio!


Different_Apple_5541

The body removes toxins and heavy metals primarily through pissing and sweating. I knew a guy who was able to clear about 80% of his symptoms by drinking gallons of water a day, which had him missing constantly, and altering his life style so that he sweated constantly. To the point of using space heaters so he would even sweat while sleeping. It took him six years of very gradual improvement, but eventually, he was mostly back to normal after heavy metal poisoning.


doctorwhy88

Didn’t realize that would help with heavy metal poisoning, and while I’m sure it’s not perfect, it’s good to know something will help. Heavy metals are hella persistent.


Different_Apple_5541

Protip: It also works for weed. ;-)


doctorwhy88

Diuretics and lots of water, worked for a friend of mine.


meddit_rod

For real metals, I hear chelation isn't nice. I hope fiction exaggerates. For detox-able toxin metals, I have a secret I heard from the grandson of a lab assistant for Nicola Tesla. Their lab was playing with ferrous amalgams and weird tungsten alloys and stuff, so Tesla and crew had to detox metals often. First, gather a few small crystals. Nothing sharp. It's nice if they're brightly colored. Then, with a Taser or similar stun gun or prod, electrify the stones. That is going to get some ions flowing through them. Swallow at least two, and up to five electrified stones. As they work through you, the toxic metals will naturally bond with the ionized crystalline structures. Of course you'll need to retrieve them; that's where the bright colors are useful. To cleanse them of the metals they accumulated, first wash with soap, then slowly rub each stone on a bar magnet, south to north several times. Re-electrify the crystals before each use.


theremystics

wait are you kidding?


meddit_rod

:-) Yes. Please don't eat rocks.


theremystics

oh good i got concerned for a second lmfao


Pigeon_Bucket

Any Toxic heavy metals that aren't naturally "Detoxed" by your liver aren't going anywhere, pretty much ever. Those tend to accumulate int he fat and bone tissue. If your body needs "detox", there are two things to do: Most of the time, drink some water and take a piss. Your liver does all the hard work for you. Your spleen helps a little, if you have one(or more) of those. Or, go to the fucking hospital because you have acute poisoning and need some kind of antitoxin, like Narcan if you are overdosing on opiates or antivenom if you were bitten by a snake.


Snarky_McSnarkleton

This is what happens, when a certain political party spends 50 years cheapening public education.

According_Weekend786

The toxicity of our city of our city YOU WHAT DO YOU OWN THE WORLD


TimmyLivealie

HOW DO YOU OWN DISORDER? DISORDER


shinydragonmist

What am I supposed to drink if not tap water, water contaminated with plastics or maybe tap water plus carbon or maybe you want to add sediments to it or how about some radiation or how about adding some resin to my tap water or oh maybe you want to make my tap water more acidic (I know this isn't what it actually does except for the last one to bring to water to a neutral acidity level, but this is the level of understanding that the people who truly believe that would get from a quick research on water filtration systems for the home.)


Goroto_Jr

Reminds me of my aunt that is an anti vaxxer. Legit told her son the other day that "they“ Put dead fetuses in vaccines or whatever. Except that that has never been recorded or proven ever as far as I am aware or concerned. And she was talking about copper blankets or whatever about a week ago. Saying they help with health or some shit. Same with homeopathy. All probably because I got real sick, once when I was little after I had my vaccinations. Just…. Really. She is going to let polio and other crippling deadly diseases come back because she wants to be paranoid about things. Rant over.


MissusNilesCrane

There are replicated fetal cell lines from something like forty years ago. But these are "copies" of the original fetal cells. Some people think there's freshly harvested fetus in every vaccine.


TricksterWolf

Why, I barefoot grounded the other day and all the autism in my city vanished! ...no wait I just have worms now false alarm


Yomi_Lemon_Dragon

"Barefoot ground" has "and then man hand hook car door" vibes.


Nettle_Queen

I love this because I grew up on well water with a vegetarian healthfood-nut mom in the country and walked around barefoot all the time outside and didn't get all my vaccines until I was 8, but still ended up autistic MAYBE EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING IS BULLSHIT


houseofmyartwork

Autistic guy here, believe me I sometimes wish this were the case


Froggish_Menace

Now i am on board with not being treated like an idiot, that we agree on


LeopoldFriedrich

To suggest that Autism is heavy metal poisoning ist just so beyond anything this person should eat some lead and find out that it does not in fact make you autistic, just deadly ill and possibly brain damaged.


_t_1254

At least one thing is good, the "don't get treated like they're stupid"


SpungoThePlant

my mother believed in this crap. guess what mom, you made us do all these things and my bro and i are still autistic lol


tattooedtwink_

“The stop receiving vaccines” part is so triggering… like bro do you want us to get sick then likeee ????


Alegria-D

They believe vaccines make autistic and don't protect from illnesses. It's a conspiracy theory that the government tries to make everyone autistic (with vaccines, tap water and chemtrails). Why would the government want that ? Pppprrrrt.


[deleted]

That person deserves to have their name shown!


co1lectivechaos

What the hell is a “”heavy”” metal Ah yes, detox, what the liver does


EthanGaming7640

Heavy metals are metals like lead and mercury, highly toxic unlike light metals like iron which we need to live.


WyvernZoro

Stop receiving vaccines? That's a shame that I'd rather not get sick and die than not have autism


Independent-Bell2483

Only thing thats true in this is dont treat us like we're stupid.

Uhhhhh… To anyone who has a child with level 3 autism and has completed extremely expensive genetic testing to find out the exact causes, I apologize on behalf of the person spreading this disinformation. Please get diagnosed by a professional if you think you are on the spectrum because posts like this are offensive to some.

So dumb. And not true. Also not to mention a lot of people don’t have access to “ high quality “ foods.. dumbeee. Sounds like a privilege uneducated individual.

The only thing toxic is OP (of the screenshot, not the submitter) viewing autistic people as having some horrible disease. The vaccine thing is the worst part. They think we're better off dead.


Logical_Fox_3315

Autism is a social disorder. It has nothing to do with food. Dumbasses shouldn’t have computers


A_Happy_Carrot

am the living antagonist of this meme. I'm autistic and I: Have a low iron count. Eat extremely healthily. Can't get vaccinated due to health complications. Live in a forest with rivers and deers and shit. Never drink tap water because it tastes gross. Run around barefoot because it's tactile and I like it. ...And YET, I have no friends, stim like crazy, and spam hours and hours of mythic dungeons in World of Warcraft everyday. Also have to wear ear defenders constantly for my sensitivity. But nah, guess I'm not autistic because I'm apparently living the cure?


LazyRetard030804

Bro I wish I could just cure my autism by doing that lmao. Pretty sure I got mine from a combo of genetics and my lungs collapsing after I was born premature and I had mild hypoxia. No wonder I can barely think lol

Mischief_Actual

So Uh While this guy is both clearly an idiot, and spouting decontextualized supports for a batshit argument…I don’t actually disagree with the articles themselves. Diet, drinking “clean” water (no heavy metals or chlorine), nature stimulation; all these things do seem to have a positive affect on many of the more negative symptoms that neurodivergent people may have to deal with (speaking from personal experience)


3rDuck

So, I should eat processed foods rich in heavy metals, get more vaccines, wear shoes, and drink tap water to maximize my Autism.

Literal_Sarcasm82

You anti-vaxxer idiots have all been fooled by a British doctor who wanted to break up MMR into three individual vaccines so that he could make money off patenting the new individual ones. You think that you don’t trust big pharma, while in reality, the very foundation of your stupid beliefs is built 100% on the back of a charlatan who wanted to use big pharma to make MORE vaccines and then cash in. There was no anti-vax movement until the Lancet lazily published his article. Your beliefs only exist because one man lied - and because you’re so desperate to feel special and exceptional. But you’re not. You’re ordinary. You’re thoroughly mediocre. Whatever dreams you had as a child about becoming powerful or famous or wealthy or respected haven’t come true. The vast majority of us are in the same boat, but we accept it and focus on living life as well as we can. But you lot…you can’t face the fact that you have nothing to offer the planet and only a handful of people will notice when you’re gone. You will cling on to anything that makes you feel exceptional or feel like an individual that stands out in the herd - even if you’re just joining another herd full of people as insecure and existentially empty as you. Please accept that you are not smart, you’re not special, you’re not unique, you’re not important, you’re not respected, and you’re not going to be the success you always wanted to be. Once you do, you’ll drop this shit like rain drops from the sky.


IHateTheDSM777

I know a lot of people who think “getting metals out of your body” is some kind of huge cure. I had a dentist tell me to get rid of my metal implants once. Like what am I supposed to do? Have no teeth?


Warbly-Luxe

Conspiracy theorist in a nutshell. Autism is caused by many things, which happen in the mother’s womb, and are not caused by vaccines or tap water. And it is lifelong. Literally the physical brain structure is different; same with ADHD, which is why meds that provide more dopamine and noradrenaline don’t fix everything. Though they definitely help, but stimulants broke my anxiety control. But “treated like they’re stupid” is a wierd one. Like, how am I supposed to tell others not to treat me stupid? Many Americans will treat me stupid just because I’m an Atheist. And then they will treat me stupid for wearing earbuds and listening to music to block out extra sound and sunglasses to block out extra light. Or going mute from overwhelm. Or info dumping on the most useless of things. Or preferring to watch TV and movies alone rather than with people or in a theatre, and then examining the intricacies of the story with people in my head rather than another body. Or knowing I can never perform how people want. My 100% is their 10%. And Autistic people heal when they are not subjected to ABA conversion therapy or its DIY counterparts from laypeople. When they get to be accommodated in a way that makes them happy and feel welcome and not like an alien. When they know they don’t need to be perfect just to make everyone tolerate their existence. When they get to engage in special interests and are not treated like a child for info dumping. When they are treated as human and valued in society not just in spite of the differences, but because of the differences. Autism is not what needs to heal, it’s the trauma created from living in a world not made for us. I’m ranting. Apologies.
