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
