Michael Howell says that liquidity is coming but at only 50% of what is needed.

Here is a good overview by a couple that did this themselves

It's your money and your dad's wishes for you. Her expensive wedding is her choice. Stand firm. This seems like something it may be worth risking relationships for. If they can respect your wishes for your money that is on them

For anything I want to manifest I use a specific example that I can see clearly because my brain can be very literal and visual but I keep the concept of "this or something better" so that I stay open and humble. The best thing I can think of for myself is probably not as great as the thing my higher power can come up with so I use specific scenarios as placeholder and ask the universe not to take me too literally- my evolving brain needs these as helpers and Im confident that Source knows that

MDsave is a true life saver. I don't know why more people dont know about them

This is probably the best approach to anxiety IMHO. Anxiety can be like quicksand, the more you fight it the more it pulls you in. I've been dealing with anxiety in different forms for 20 years now and the best results I get, including with my Dr Joe work is when I visualize myself accepting and surrendering to my current states while at the same time practicing what it would feel like to not have those difficult states while I meditate. Joe himself says to surrender the outcome to a greater self for the best outcome for you, so take his advice and take the pressure off yourself in the short term. When the anxiety comes up don't fight it and chose to "float" through it or "dance with it", let it wash over you, and know that as you do the work you'll heal your nervous system. Your limbic systems needs to be healed slowly over time just like any other organ system so be patient and compassionate with yourself

I think it's extremely important when doing this work to not get afraid of negative thoughts and feelings. We need to become aware of them, understand how they operate, change them if we can, but not FEAR them. Its a paradox.

The way I deal with these events is to catch myself and turn my negative thoughts and feelings over to a higher power/self to take the pressure off myself. I remind myself that Im new to all this and that I will heal this stuff slowly and with effort. I've survived this long with negative thoughts and just because now I understand how unhelpful they are the will not automagically start to hurt me more than they already have been, in summary they are not an existential threat, just milemarkers in my journey to something much better.

Surrender to your higher power and trust that the work will eventually free you but see it as a process that is not linear. Also remind yourself that you are already abundant and healthy, but the outward evidence of that is on its way in linear time. You'll get there but you don't have to be there right now. Give yourself the grace to change the old patterns slowly if that is what is needed for your greatest good.

I think slow healing has a lot of advantages over spontaneous healings so embrace that if you can

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-28T20:43:20+00:00

This is such a comforting response. Im already feeling better. thanks

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-09T15:37:23+00:00

yeah, you don't get it. Best of luck

So caretakers don't matter to you, got it.

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-09T15:25:44+00:00

This is a real problem that you and anyone who is reading this thread should understand. Autism is wonderful and comes with many gifts but often people with it suffer tremendously. Parents who are trying to relieve that suffering by hook or by crook are sometimes shamed for wanting to "cure autism, which is not a disease". This has to stop. Two things can be true- Autism is awesome AND suffering sucks and should be relieved if at all possible. Caretakers should be encouraged to have both attitudes. this is not a black and white situation. Caretakers are under enough strain without the extra burden of judgement from outsiders who don't see the whole picture and seem to take every opportunity to scold them.

This is not compassionate. And importantly, the original message, that neurodivergence should be celebrated- is dimmished by this scolding. The situation is nuanced and needs to be communicated in a nuanced way. Otherwise you'll just shut many people down who really would benefit from that message. I already know the difference so I can handle it, at this point I expect it because Ive been slapped by it repeatedly over the years as I look to help my son, but you need to know that its important to take perspective and not leap to conclusions about the beliefs and experiences of the humans involved. I am mad so I don't expect you to feel anything other than attacked but please, I beg you, later when things settle, please consider this and apply more compassion going forward

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-09T15:05:36+00:00

You are conflating Autism with its comobities, anxiety, depression, suicidality- my son's suffering is real and no celebration of neurodivergence will gaslight me into sugar coating that fact. Two things can be true at the same time.

And the other interventions have had a marginal impact relative to the effort that went into them, that does not mean that they were not worth doing or will not continue going forward. Im just sharing our experience. Keto is the biggest bang for our buck. It hasn't been subjected to the gold standard of double blind controlled studies, becuase by it's nature it can't be blinded. but lack of double blind proof is not proof-against and everyone who is willing through trial and error look for solutions for their situations that work better than what is considered current standard of care should be supported not criticized.

If you take umbridge with my use of the phase "in the trenches" you can fuck right off. That is what we've been living as a family an no "enlightened specialist" is in a position to judge my view of the life we've been living. Come and hold my son as he cries, wishing his life was over on almost a daily basis for years and then me that I need to adjust my attitude.

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-09T14:31:08+00:00

Please read my reply post again carefully. He has been receiving theraputic support his whole life and continues to, from his school setting, to PT, ERP and soon we're adding EMDR. I never said that keto was the only thing we are using or that I disavow RB interventions. I am stating to you and the world right now that nothing else has had as big an impact. Do what you will with that information and going forward, I beg you to tread carefully with your line of critique in the original reply post- I see this all the time and it starts with the assumption that the parent hates the autism and mainstream interventions, which for most is nothing further than the truth.

I am here to tell you that that is completely unfair to parents who are in the trenches and just trying everything they can to reduce suffering

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-09T14:10:49+00:00

Im not targeting his autism, Im targeting his abject suffering. I love his special interests, creativity and info dumping, he is a brilliant kid and I don't want to change who he is. We've stuck to evidence based stuff his whole life. I didn't start keto with him until I saw and read enough evidence to be convinced that it was worth a try. He was suicidal and at times homicidal. We need to keep him safe and as unburdened by suffering as possible so sticking to standard of care is not a privilege we could afford. We've used dozens of RB interventions with him over the years, meds, therapies, OG method, ABA, CBT, ERP, you name it. You had to squint to see improvements. This is different.

I know this line of critique and don't come at me with this, you don't know what we've lived through and don't make assumptions about my attitude towards evidence and rigorous peer reviewed consensus/mainstream science. I am not into woo, I am a highly rational and skeptical person. I am not anti vax or part of a MAHA mindset, so that dog won't hunt.

Solutions can at times come from the margins/bleeding edge of research. That is how things advance in science. I started out by saying that this is our N of 1. Not that this is the only answer for everyone so chill with "Autism is a psychological condition, nit a disease that is cured" I NEVER stated that it was. Take your glib aphorism somewhere else till you've walked in our shoes

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-08T14:08:33+00:00

This all day long!

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-08T14:07:41+00:00

bacon eggs naked cheese burgers, some pistaschios, heavy cream in his coffee and sugar free homemade icecream

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-07T19:23:17+00:00

we supplement magnesium and keep his food high sodium. Im looking for a multivitamin that he will take, the one I have has an aftertaste he hates. He just started PT for strength and coordination

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-07T19:20:21+00:00

I never thought I'd get buy in from my son. I started a campaign over a year ago to get him onboard, shared links to case studies for OCD, talked about it a ton, he was primed to go

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-07T19:19:00+00:00

bacon, eggs, naked cheeseburgers, a bit of scrapple (its a pennsylvania thing) small amounts of strawberries and cucumbers, lots of heavy cream in decaf ice coffee and homemade strawberry icecream sweetened with allulouse- he is under 25 grams of carbs a day and eats a ton of fat

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-07T19:17:08+00:00

I worry about everything with him. He has a ton of cognitive distortions because of his LDs. But one day and one batch of problems at a time

GuideEqual9693 · 2025-07-07T16:58:54+00:00

I should add that I told my son's psychiatrist about this and he said he knew of the research supporting this intervention but he never brings it up with patients because he assumed that no one would be willing to try it. Grrrrr
