softandspoopy: autistic-knight-errant: wilder-than-moon-light: absynthe–minded: why caffeine works for some of us, but not all, and even then it often depends on the way you take it and the dosage how come all of us have gastrointestinal problems? addendum to the above: what exactly are our gastrointestinal problems? are we genetically more likely to have autism …
