In this episode, I list the myriad of linked comorbidities from a physical perspective caused by autism.
Autism affects more than just the brain. Everything that affects the brain also affects the body.
I absolutely encourage you to learn to become more aware of your body states - and gain an emotional awareness of self in doing so.
There are a lot of internal physical things that doctors ignore and don't understand when it comes to autism - especially autism in women.
A few of the most notable, besides sensory issues which I've spoken about in detail in previous podcasts:
1) Digestive Issues / IBS
2) Delayed reaction time, delayed emotional processing
3) Increased inflammatory biomarkers / joint pain
4) Sleep terrors / Sleep issues
5) Increased prostaglandins
