Hi Darryn
You've obviouly been reading too much "how to win friends and influence people" while you've been away! lol
Forget the diet for a minute - imagine we were talking about something else like religion or politics. You cannot tell people what to think or what to do! People have freewill - it's one thing that makes us human. We are not all the same and do not think the same - that's what makes this world interesting and diverse!
Although I believe NSD to work for me - I do not think it is a complete answer. I think exercise is an essential component too and I also think that physical trauma has triggered my AS in at least one instance.
You have the freedom of speech - but I think it's more construcive to use it in an encouraging, informative way.
This is a site where people share the same disease as you. It's not kind and supportive to shout at people and bang their heads against the wall for them! Alienating people is counterproductive.
You are giving the NSD bad publicity by demonstrating that it has turned you into a raving lunatic!!!! lol
I hope you can see that I'm jesting a bit here not having a go at you.
