Tracii, it looks like you've done a lot of research. I wish that I had known what you know when I was 23. I've experienced many of the same problems that you have and I suspect that I'm on the low end of the autism spectrum even though I've been diagnosed with ADD, depression, OCD, and other things.

The first thing that I think you should try is a gluten free/casein free (no wheat or dairy) diet. That's what I'm doing now and it has helped some. For more information on how food intolerances can cause health problems see www.dogtorj.net .
