This is one of the most ignorant things I have seen in a while. Dangerous anti-Autistic nonsense. No, cayenne pepper, cilantro, and parsley won’t get rid of Autism. Autism is NOT a parasite, we’re born this way and kitchen seasonings won’t change that.
And if your child has autism, give them Cayenne pepper S they won't have autism no more!!!If you would like some proof
i, l can post
some children in the comments who were nonverbal and can talk now!!! ( start with the binder first, which is the cilantro and parsley.
And then add the cayenne pepper in like a few days later, because you want the body to be able to bind to these toxins and pull them out the right way. That's why I also recommend working along holistic practitioner. That way you can have some support. I can connect you to a holistic clinic that works globally. A practitioner should be able to help you with advice and support for free, you shouldn't have to pay for this kind of support) ****PLEASE start the binder first. Parasites are nothing to play with, as you can see, what they do to autistic people #AlIPraiseToTheMostHigh

Did you know there is a nearly 4 hour long documentary on Elon Musk and major social media platforms are not allowing it to be advertised? Makes me want to watch it even more.

As an author, there is something special about holding a physical copy of a book that has been in the making for a long time, and it finally being in your hands as something I can touch and flip through.

“As U.S. prices for diesel fuel surge to all-time highs, some California pumps literally can’t price their diesel any higher—maxing out the display at $9.999 per gallon”… still several stations in California are pricing well above $9.99 per gallon (even though it’s displaying $9.99). 😮‍💨

The pressure and energy that go into Autistic masking can cause us to fall into a state of shutdown because socializing, especially if in environments where “masking“ is required, often feels unsafe, causing us to be hypervigilant (ready for unseen dangers even if no danger is present).

Autonomy is critical to my success and survival as a Neurodivergent person, because it allows me to flex the environment around me to fit my needs… unfortunately, many of those needs are invisible, which means other people sometimes don’t believe me when I try to tell them about my needs.
