I lived in a tent at the Dead Sea in Israel for 18 months, but it was changing my diet that helped my psoriasis.I was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of the 12. Every decision I made in my life after that diagnosis revolved around my health, specifically my skin. I tried hundreds of topical medications, oral remedies, tar baths, and ultraviolet ray treatments. If it was a conventional treatment, odds are my doctors tried it. I spent a total of 1 year of my life living in the hospital and even lived in a tent at the Dead…

I have since learned that I am autistic despite not having these traits, which represent a stereotype of autistic people more than an accurate characterization. Many people form a concept of autism—a neurotype (type of brain) that processes social and sensory information differently from the majority of people—based on movies like Rain Man (whose protagonist is inspired by someone who was not even autistic) rather…

Ideally, they are also served with crunchy fries and a creamy milkshake is always a nice touch to wash it all down. While there are many burger spots that check off these boxes, only a few across the country really deliver.
