    It’s one of those things that are like shitting. Almost everyone does it, but if you do it way more often than everyone else, or it affects you so much it detracts from your everyday life in ways that it doesn’t for the average person, there might be something going on.

      Is IBS an autistic trait? Because God damn I don’t need two punches to the face this morning.

      Edit: This was a joke. I should remember I have to say that here.

        Even if it was just meant as a joke, there is actually research in this general area:

        The recent finding of the microbiota–gut–brain axis indicates the bidirectional connection between our gut and brain, demonstrating that gut microbiota can influence many neurological disorders such as autism. Most autistic patients suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.
