simplespectrumsupplement Omdömen 2

My child has a limited diet and is neurodivergent so I thought I’d try this supplement to see if it supports him. I was a bit reticent as it is very expensive and I was wary of the autism targeting. However like any parent you constantly try new things to support your child so thought it was worth at least the expense of one pot. However when I received it I realised it was quite strong tasting and my child is very taste sensitive so this wasn’t going to work for him. Having opened it I didn’t expect a refund but wrote to the company for suggestions who instantly both gave advice and an instant refund.

So I can’t review the product but I can review the customer service as 5 stars.

Simple Spectrum Supplement is disgraceful in its consumption methods, and especially its online advertisements.

First of all, not all autistic people have what they are calling “nutritional gaps” meaning they are prescribing irrelevant and unnecessary nutrients to people who don’t have these so called “nutritional gaps”. One of their substances reduces inflammation, not all autistic people have autoimmune problems, give more of the substance to someone without autoimmune problems and they will result in immune deficiency making the immune system fail to attack infections.

Secondly, they tell people to get autistic children to consume it by diluting and mixing it in with other foods, that causes toxicity, you should not just keep mixing up random substances and consuming them. You require 2 carbon atoms for every one atom of oxygen (C2O) in order for it to be safe to breathe, remove one atom of carbon and the air becomes toxic, Carbon Monoxide (CO). As soon as things fall out of proportion toxicity increases, just because something is natural, that doesn’t mean it’s safe. Mixing all these substances in with processed foods, fizzy drinks etc… is bound to cause poisoning.

Thirdly, most autistic people have comorbidities which result in been medicated, it is not safe to take these substances and other medicines at the same time. Doing so, can cause negative side effects as severe as heart attacks and strokes. It is also not safe for people with certain disabilities, diseases, disorders etc… to consume such substances due to how the nutrients will interact with body organs. Believe it or not, even age plays a part in whether this is safe to consume or not.

Fourth, this is very unethical in its advertisements by targeting specifically autistic people when off of their advertisements they claim it has other purposes. Targeting specifically autistic people online reinforces stigma, cultural prejudice, discrimination, and a second Eugenics Movement, countdown to genocide.

Fifth, they are supporters of Autism Speaks and claim they support autistic people, that is impossible. You cannot support autistic people if you support Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks works directly against groups such as the “Autism Self Advocacy Network” (ASAN) who actually want to work together, Autism Speaks (A$) spends less than 1% funding on helping autistic people and their families. The other 99% is spent on commercial profiteering, genomic research in the name of genocide, the Judge Rotenberg Centre which still gives children electronic shocks for harmless behaviours, the BACB financial model, dealerships with private equities and other stakeholders.

Finally, it is based on a platform of Ableism, a form of discrimination. They talk about “proper brain development” which claims there’s only one correct way for a brain to develop, and every other way of neurodevelopment is wrong, this is the ideology of the racist eugenicist Francis Galton. What’s the proper amount of children in a household? Let’s say we had 4 homes with 1, 2, 3, and 4 children in the 4 households, that would mean the “proper” amount of children per household is 2.5 children. What? That’s real confusing, I’ve never met 0.5 of a child, there’s a 0.5 child gap, how are we going to fill in this gap? The whole thing about nutritional gaps is based on statistical fiction, by Adolphe Quetelet’s own admission, the “average man” is the “impossible man”.
Instead of trying to fill in gaps to some fictional ideal perhaps it would be better to look at the relationship between the physiology, emotional state, mind, and environment.

Variation is the rule, not the exception, anyone can be pathologized. I could say “Neurotypical Spectrum Disorder is a neurobiological disorder preoccupated with social concerns, a delusional sense of superiority, and an obsession with conformity.”
Why aren’t we trying to cure the deficits of typical brains, is it because people with typical brains have a delusional sense of superiority?
