If you have autism and bipolar disorder, you're a poor kid with two disabilities.
But if you also have high intellectual abilities, gifted, let's say, then you're a damn arrogant jerk.
What the hell is wrong with those people?
It turns out that anywhere, physical or virtual, where you try to mention that you have a very high IQ but at the same time have a lot of trouble navigating the human world, you will be stoned by an angry mob of ignorant people who overvalue intelligence (and hate and fear it).
Yes, I'm a damn genius at many things, as I'm also level 2 autistic and have a pretty severe mixed bipolar disorder. And all of that with real, official diagnoses that required years of therapy, psychiatrists, hundreds of tests and some hospitalizations in psychiatric hospitals.
I have a long list of achievements and professions and an equally long list of failures, illness, and suicide attempts.
I'm now trying to compile information and studies on comorbidities or overlaps of these three things, and if anyone finds anything, please share the link.
Overlap or multiple exceptionality of autism+bipolar+giftedness. I want to delve deeper into this to understand it more thoroughly and refine my personal therapies.
I also have an overlap of autoimmune diseases and metabolic disorders. In other words, it's not an easy matter.
I have been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for almost 40 years and have practiced various martial arts and therapeutic techniques for almost the same amount of time. That's how I've stayed fairly stable for the last 15 years, without psychiatric medication and with very little for thyroid and allergies.
In order to extrapolate the theoretical framework to natural medicine and the methods I use, I need to study much more.

And obviously share all of that with people who have similar problems.

“I really can’t recommend systemic sclerosis as a preventative.”

I was explaining how SSc messes with collagen and causes fibrosis inside and psych made the link with far too much wonder and glee “that’s why you have no wrinkles!”

quote from article:
"Strangely enough, Kultima and colleagues found that the odds of developing MS in patients with a gene variant tied to a lower risk of the disease were instead much higher if they had been exposed to greater levels of PFOS.

In fact, with increasing PFOS exposure, participants with this gene variant had a greater than fourfold higher risk of developing MS.

"This indicates that there is a complex interaction between inheritance and environmental exposure linked to the odds of MS," explains Kultima."

That's really interesting.

from the research article:
"This study observed a significant interaction between PFAS exposure, specifically PFOS, and the HLA class I alleles HLA-B*44:02. Although HLA-B*44:02 has been described as protective, carriers exposed to higher PFOS levels exhibited a stronger association with increased odds of MS. While the mechanism remains unclear, PFAS may modulate immune function by affecting cytokine signaling, redox balance, or antigen processing pathways, thereby potentially influencing the repertoire of peptides presented by HLA molecules. In the context of HLA-B*44:02, such environmental modulation could alter the activation threshold of autoreactive CD8+ T cells or affect regulatory cell function."

Endoplasmic reticulum stress could be added to the list of possible mechanisms.
