The thing is, Charlie doesn't actually have ASD. I never speak up about this, but I know him personally and I know for a fact that he's never received a professional diagnosis and I genuinely hate to see him use a condition that affects millions of people for attention. If you want to know how I know this, I'm very happy to talk over PM. He's an extreme narcissist (as evidenced by videos like these) and compulsive liar; his 'autism' is the tip of the iceberg of things that he has publicly lied about. At best he may think that he fits the criteria for ASD, but that's a world away from receiving an actual clinical diagnosis and it undermines the condition to think otherwise. He's also absurdly conceited and pretentious and has a long history of lying and cheating in his personal life, so to see him post these shallow facebook lectures about positivity, love and spirituality just makes me want to throw up. It's not good that he has a platform to make wildly unsubstantiated claims about how celery juice can cure diseases or some ****, because there are an awful lot of people that conflate financial success with judiciousness and as we can see from these cringey videos, he's just too delusional and lacking in self-awareness to be taken seriously.
I'm on the spectrum myself and tbh it's not like you have to get a professional diagnosis to actually know you have it. Fwiw, when I watched his streams, I always got the feeling that he's on the spectrum and I'm pretty good to spot it.
I don't know about the other stuff that you wrote, don't know the guy.
There is also a lot of things that you can do to very much improve, not cure, ASD. And it's very much about the diet and some other stuff. Maybe there is some poker wizard here that wants GTO information?
