My Autism DISCO

My Autism DISCO

HildeMac

California woman in her early 40s discovers she’s Autistic and decides to put that shit on blast. Join me for personal anecdotes, nerdy research, lively discussion, and inappropriate humor. And yes, eventually there will even be music and dancing. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be much of a fucking DISCO, would it? *This is an endeavor I figured out as I went and consequently, the first two episodes have a slightly different feel/format to them. The tone and flow settle into something better and more appropriate for the way my brain works from the third episode on. Feel free to start wherever.

I mean, sure, it's been a minute since I posted Episode Five. We won't dwell on that too terribly much, though. It is me after all.

In Episode Six, we dive further into histamine intolerance, specifically via the IBS angle, and I detail some of the non-GI-related symptoms I experience that have been mitigated with a low-histamine diet. Going forward, I'll also be dropping relevant research and resources in the episode descriptions for those of you who wish to nerd out further.

A decent intro to histamine intolerance: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8945898/#!po=6.17978

Another paper detailing symptoms and symptom combinations: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6667364/

Discussion topics include cognitive flow, authenticity, the barriers many of us face when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine, vitamins and supplements, psychiatric medication stigma, targeted SSRI therapy for PMDD, benefits I've found to trail running beyond the exercise piece, etc.

Two episodes in a week, you guys. BOOM. I ditched the outline again, as this is clearly the far more productive method for me. It's a little rambly and gets a little ranty at points, but still stays surprisingly on-topic for an unmedicated ADHD brain. As always, there's at least one autocorrect you'll have to perform in your head as you listen because me.

Like so many things related to this endeavor, we'll have to work up to more relevant and interesting and informative episode titles and descriptions. For now, what can I say? It's just more rambling. Enjoy.

This one was a struggle, you guys, but we made it to the double digits. Topics include my experience with selective mutism and PDA, stimulant medication, exercise and the ADHD brain, and one very exciting announcement.

Histamine intolerance symptom details, childhood Star Trek influences, brief discussion of audio equipment, entertaining anecdote of (figuratively) eating shit, unintentional podcast equivalent of an IRL habit I happen to describe earlier in the episode... You know. The usual. Enjoy.

More specifics on histamine and food, including my go-to options on a strict low-histamine diet. Links below to research/resources mentioned, plus the recipes detailed therein, because who doesn't like bonus recipes?

Histamine's link to depression: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9537353/

Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance, excellent resource for further info: https://www.histaminintoleranz.ch/en/introduction.html

Intolerances app (yes, I'm only linking the iOS version because I know less than nothing about Android, sorry): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/food-intolerances/id419098758

Yummy Strawberry Dessert (NOT low-histamine):

-angel food cake

-large box vanilla pudding mix

-one cup milk

-one pint vanilla ice cream, softened

-one small box strawberry jello mix

-three baskets strawberries, sliced

Prepare jello as instructed, cover and refrigerate until partially firm, an hour or so.

Tear angel food cake into bite-size pieces and distribute evenly into 13x9 casserole dish.

Prepare pudding as directed but using one cup of milk and softened ice cream. Pour evenly over angel food cake.

Add sliced strawberries to partially firm jello, mix well to combine. Pour evenly over angle food cake/pudding.

Cover and refrigerate until firmly set. Serve with whipped cream/cool whip if desired.

Hilde's Granola (low-histamine):

-four cups oats (I use sprouted)

-1/2 teaspoon sea salt

-1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (less if using strong cinnamon)

-1/2 cup maple syrup

-1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

Pour oats into medium/large mixing bowl, add salt and cinnamon, whisk to distribute (I use a flat whisk for this).

Add maple syrup and stir a few times, then add coconut oil and mix thoroughly.

Evenly distribute into baking sheet lined with parchment and gently pat down with spatula.

Bake at 300, convect if you have it, for one hour, rotating pan 180-degrees halfway through.

Remove and let cool before breaking into pieces for storage. (And yes, pulling up the corners of parchment until large triangles break off is absolutely one of the most satisfying experiences ever. You're welcome.)

ENJOY!

This one gets a little feisty at times, you guys, not gonna lie. I'm sorry or you're welcome--as always, whichever fits best for you personally.

Main topic is still movement and regulation, including a realization I had after recording Episode Ten concerning my major psychiatric crisis period in childhood. Other topics include California, fitness in general, running, VO2 max measurements, histamine, precocious puberty, my 4th grade tormentor, generational trauma, Autistic meltdowns... You know. The usual.
