    Interesting, I didn’t realize that ADHD and autism occur so frequently together. Also:

    Interestingly, initial small studies have explored the potential use of intranasal insulin as a therapeutic intervention for ADHD. A pilot study by Shemesh et al. (2021) found that a single dose of intranasal insulin improved cognitive performance and attention in adults with ADHD. While these results are promising, larger-scale clinical trials are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this approach.

    Well, now I have a rabbit hole to go down. I hope you and your family can find something that works, healthy family relationships can be very rewarding, and avoiding them largely due to a hopefully treatable medical condition sucks. Anyway, thanks for the explanation!

      thanks for the link. i marked it for reading.

      yeah, the insuline thing really makes me wonder…

      i am very sad that my brother is deteroirating rapidly from 12 years of anti depressants. he had like shizo thoughts, which is kinda normal if you abuse alcohol and various drugs havily, and then decide to go cold turkey.

      either way, he is loosing hair, showing all signs of malnutrition while being fat, has all kinds of ailments. his docs dont believe in adhd. my niece got diagnosed recently as well.

      its kinda typical that adhd people can’t acknowledge adhd, because it shatters the lottle self worth they retain by claim they turned out this way because of incident X that happened at age 15, or because of hpw my father handled family life (he is not abuseisve or anything, but he is a father with autism, that can be taxing)

      wait till you hear that keto nutrition benefits bipolar persons, binge eaters, parkinson people, epileptics, and thoses people who have severe ticks, like, tourettes.

      why is that?

      the answer is acetate metabolism.

      do you want to know why canabis works?

      canabis receptors have something to do with the insuline glucose mechanism, i don’t know yet what, i am just a former worker with no education.

      so, take this all as my opinion.

      but, at the other hand, biochemistry does not lie…

      it is a very captivating topic. its my special interest for now.
