Ironic the "cure" lies within a disease.
As the methane rich permafrost melts, I am told that a chain reaction is happening! So as the world happens, best we go live with the innuit - or boil to death!
Three people posting in the space of one min! Did that send a 'shiver' down your spine?
I will have to keep a BIO diary now, I think this will be interesting Smile
Lets set up a special thread then for our bio diaries, this would be the an interesting way to learn about ourselves and give us all a chance to chat etc. We need to decide what stats to keep? Temp (C/k/F or shall we build a converter into the thread?) - Pulse rate (at what times of day - at rest/after walking) - Blood presure - I am going to make the local chemist happy soon! What else do I need to check? Should we do it all once/twice a day and when?

well put It is ironic

does this mean now that if I have a fever i'm suddenely going to be like a NT?

well actually I feel a little bit hot 0.0 AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I HAVE A FEVER! IM TURNING INTO A NT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tongue

There is actually scientific merit to the concept.. If the mutation causing AutSpec produced an aliphatic interaction in the protein, the interaction would be hindered by heat, thus negating the effect of mutation (for that state).

A critical 'easy' test for this would be that a different mutation causing AutSpec shouldn't have a response to the temperature increase. Concervsely, a temperature decrease could amplify the interaction. If true, That would be one way of classifying AutSpec types, which is very important. There is also a quantitative way to measure this concept in vitro, by doing a protein activity assay at various temperatures. (A deceased Autistic's brain protein versus NT might answer this, pardoning the sick truth of how this stuff can be scientifically tested.)

Body temperature can be controlled by the ingestion pathway and maybe through the skin patch pathway.

Curious, but how do you know all this--and do you have a career in science or at least something that requires stronger-than-average intellect?

I'll be honest, I get quite jealous when I see very erudite writings such as this on AFF, and makes me wonder where that "Asperger package of Math, Science, and academia" went... because I don't have it.

It is my "special interest" more than it is a career. Though I want to get involved in genetics and genetic cures. Que evil music.

For anyone doubting the possibility of a relationship between genetic disease symptoms and temperature, look no further than the Sickle Cell (SC) bio-parable. The mutation causes aliphatic interaction hindered by increased temperature.
