No, this is not evidence - but it is scientific illiteracy.
If an individual possesses condition X, that does qualify him to make conclusive assertions about the cause of condition X in all individuals, or even in himself. E.g., if someone has diabetes or manic-depression, he is not thereby qualified to assert the cause of these consitions in all individuals, on the cause of these conditions in himself. To prove causation requires a chain of evidence; it is not achieved by mere assertion.

To prove causation requires a chain of evidence Causation of a behavior certainly is provable by confession, how do you account for people turning homosexual in prison or the existence of so-called bisexuals" or the FACT that there are many more ex-gays in the world than Bennett?
