Im an Asperger myself and I can testify about the psychological suffering in school, it was pretty intense. I dont know what could have happened to me if I wouldnt have had such a good group of friends and supportive family. I only got some real bullying for around a year, with girls (couldnt deffend myself because of my lack of social abilities and because they were laughing at my Body Odor which was too obvious and straight) and later with boys, this time I mocked them a lot and even punched one of them, that was pretty neat. But innerly I was feeling so horrible indeed. I can understand why asperger people are much more prone to be attacked as we talk in weird fashions and have overall a lot of things that can be laughed at. Healthy people will always end treading sick ones, at least while most of population remains as evolved monkeys.

Those supplements will help but at end, what its at the bottom of autism spectrum are pathogens (such as candida or dysbiotic bacteria) and heavy metals. Also leaky gut can be suspected. I believe you could completely cure your son if you start treating him right away, with chelation and such. This decision of course depends of how much affected he is because, being an slight asperger is not that bad, if I hadnt all these other issues I would be some succesful creator/investigator.

But hell, the truth is I would want to feel empathy and be emotionally normal. Its worth it being intuitive and more analytical when it comes along with Depression and anxiety? I dont think so! But if you are lucky enough, you can adapt somehow to your problems and success. The creator of windows its an asperger (but he is an evil man haha), still a good example for the subject. Also the creator of pokemon! Some people can see this focus that comes with asperger as a gift. Certainty the creator of pokemon its pretty epic in my opinion haha.

My experience with GABA and Tyrosine its simple: they are not worth it, at least in my case. I have experimented with quite a lot of supplements. Tyrosine didnt have an effect at all and GABA only sometimes, of slight calm, itchiness or improved verbal skills. It didnt stop my social phobia.

Mytwo,

I'm going to suggest a different, more unconventional, approach. In the personal development world, ignoring or suppressing the problem can often cause damaging long term effects. In my view, there are two ways to deal with this:

1. Limit the exposure of bullying
2. Heal yourself

When 1 is not possible, 2 becomes even more important. Has there even been something that was really scary to you but once you tried it and did it over and over, it seems like no big deal? That's because you psychologically processed the event and adjusted your worldview.

So, when in a situation that is anxiety inducing, the best thing to do is to actually allow yourself to feel the feelings to speed up the psychological processing to lessen the effects of future encounters. Conversely, suppression makes future encounters worse. Take a sharp breath in through your nose. Do you notice how this amplifies the feeling in your body?

Now, the trauma from bullying also gets stored in your muscles and it is important to get this tension out and physically heal as well. The best method for this is TRE exercises. Look into these.

Recap: If exposure can't be limited then

1. Bullying occurs
2. Be mindful in the moment to realize how to handle it
3. Take forceful breath in through the nose to feel fully
4. Later on at home do TRE exercises to release muscle tension

How much of this can a 13 y.o. with asperger's incorporate? I don't know.

And I recommend FasterEFT. See how to do this easy technique here.

You might want to try Inositol. It worked like a charm for me and stops a panic attack cold. Google it. 4,000mg is what seems to always do the trick, but everyone is different and so experimentation is a must. Maybe start with 500 m,g and see if it does anything. Side effects are headache and slight drowsiness, all of which is gone the next day. From my experience these side effects only happen because you've taken too much. Lower it and you won't have them.

I also cured my social phobia with vitamin B6 (400-500 mg a day.) Zinc and selenium also helped clear heavy metals, fungus from my brain and sinuses.


This has been my experience.
