Getting a...

poop transplant....

to cure my autism

This is funny because most autistic folks I know usually feel better when they put their shit into me.

Like infodumping about special interests. Is that a joke? You can ban me if that's not a good joke.

Shoving shit up my ass so I'll shut up about trains and touhou

I was a little bit ready to read an article that was hacky and about "finding a cure" but it was instead about addressing health whole-sale and reducing things that relate to discomfort or difficulty. Very nice to see :) (unless I missed something, which is possible!)

Hope the research can continue to help people live the life they want. The gut-brain neural pathway continues being one of the wildest things to read about. Sounds like psuedo-science at first but I feel like the studies that keep coming out on it are really solid and surprising.

Where do I sign

Where do I fkn sign I'm so tired of this

Has anyone tried the reverse?

Bong hit transplants have a much higher success rate

If an author invented the concept of fecal transplants for a story, I'd think they were fetish worldbuilding

Same goes for premarin (not because it's an HRT drug but because of its, uh, particular source)

what?

I have heard parents say that changing diet helped their children with autism, though I would hardly call that a scientific study

Now I just want a T-shirt that says "Fecal Transplants for Autism" with a brown ribbon.

It's just WTF enough to get people interested enough to ask a question, then BOOM! I hit them with science!

So you're telling me my problem isn't that i'm full of shit, it's that it's the wrong kind

the comments on that article are abysmal, even more so then public comments on news articles usually are

For far too long, shit has only come out of the asshole. Until today, nobody was daring enough to ask, what if shit went into the asshole too? What if the asshole could function in duplex?

to be honest gut microbiome and autism reminds me of andrew wakefield lmao

I thought they'd already tried this? I know someone who did research about this like half a decade ago. I may look at the study tomorrow.

Fucking awesome!!! I hope they get the funding they need for the next round of testing.

So pooping back and fourth forever is real

taking my shit pill to not be an autist brb

RFK jr is going to read this and suggest we do human centipede irl

Could this mean that fecal transplants are generally useful? The mechanism it proposes is that microbial diversity helps with autism symptoms. Does the helping peter out when a person reaches typical microbial diversity, or could somebody with typical microbial diversity reap some benefits by increasing it from there? How far is a typical person from the theoretical peak microbial diversity where they have a population of pretty much every microbe that's in somebody's gut?
