So on paper, if you just look at the abundance, you could say, oh, it's the same.

But when you look deeper into what they do, you could have like, you know, an identical, you could have a doppelganger, you know, somebody who looks identical to you, but then they do completely different things.

You know, so, or like an identical twin, but they have a different personality.

So it's a little bit like that.

So, yeah, so there is that.

There is all of that going on.

And then the brain in a neurotypical person might not look completely different to the brain in an ADHD or an autistic person when you look at some imaging.

But the way that the brain functions, which is not so easily seen in humans,

in imaging is going to be a different story.

So there are, it's a nuance.

I know that you want clear answers, but like the science is very nuanced.

I wouldn't say so much precautions.

I would say trying to prioritize perhaps some foods that we know from the research out there that have been seen to help support the system as a whole.

So rather than actually trying to avoid certain foods or to just only include foods and then make it all quite regimented, because then we fall back into the same trap as we were talking about before.

You might have a day that you find it very easy to stick to all the rules that you have created for yourself.

And you might have another day that you find it completely difficult and then you self-sabotage and then you feel guilty because you self-sabotage and then you repeat the cycle.

And that could lead to either not eating, which happens, or to binging, which happens as well, and then feeling crap because you've done that.

So we want to avoid all of that.

So rather than precautions, I would say we know from literature that certain food groups are really supportive.

So protein, for example, particularly early in the day.
