Pot did help me when I was 15. Within a year I was working as a waiter, in 2 I could navigate college and really make friends, I could talk to people. I could explore the world without being overwhelmed. A decade later I was running a business and able to sell design work, 20 years later my career is stable and I lead a large team. I still can't handle Costco or IKEA, and sometimes I like to stay in. I am still completely obsessed about my interests, and I still don't make friends easily, but the difference is profound. I remember pieces of how I felt as a child before and after finding pot. The rest of the world came into focus. People became somehow more real. I started asking questions, and developing a picture of who they were. It's hard to describe but it's like I suddenly began thinking externally. Everyone around me noticed. I still struggle, but my life was forever changed.

As a late diagnosed autistic person, the reason more people are being diagnosed is because we are now more aware of what warrants an autism diagnosis. People who weren't diagnosed back 50 yrs ago are now being diagnosed today. The diagnosis has changed in recent times and with more awareness, and more understanding of what that means, people who flew under the radar most of their life are now able to get a diagnosis. Females also generally present different than males. 50 years ago the understanding of what autism was was very poorly understood and many people who were diagnosed as "schizophrenic" were autistic. In fact, many different diagnoses were lumped into schizophrenia. On the other hand, autistic people (autism isn't something you just magically "get") may have been suffering most of their lives undiagnosed, only to find out they weren't a freak, broken, or a weirdo (as society loves to label us) but were in fact autistic. Autistic people don't want a cure. We would like to manage our symptoms better, yes. We should be focused on helping and accommodating autistic people..not trying to cure them. Also, talk to autistic people and not just the parents of autistic children. We exist, too. And it is a spectrum, so their are people who need life long care and their are people who can live independently but still need a support system. It's genetic, it's not caused my vaccines, or sugar, or whatever BS people like to believe. These claims are proven false and only do more harm than good. Try to accommodate autistic people instead of curing them. All I ever wanted to know was what was "wrong" with me and finding out I was autistic changed everything. Also, Autism Speaks sucks.

look you can't speak for all of us. it's not caused by avaccines. I know exactly what it's caused by because I've spent 15 years in holistic health learning as much as i can so I can learn to be a normal more adaptable dude. it's caused by the multigenerational cumulative gut dysbiosis and mutagenesis from eating cooked species-inappropriate foods, exacerbated by stimulants and sugar, and vaccines. i know many people whose children have gone non verbal autism OVERNIGHT - no eye contact, shrieking - within 2 days after being vaccinated. causation? no. but correlation and contributing factor, undubitably. but not causing without that level of degeneration which created a susceptibility ones condition, aka the symptoms we suffer can all be cured, via diet, and lifestyle change. raw food. the atupid carnivore diet is getting good results too; as well as the GAPS Protocol but we aren't natural omnivores, so my teacher's findings on autism and how to get rid of symptoms, and rejuvenate the brain and body at a cellular level, in order to be able to CATCH UP on the social develeopment and all learning we may have missed out on, I can finally feel great around women I find attractive; like a man; not a creep or shy awkward wallflower. or a target. it's genetic, it's caused by diet, particularly grains and beans and cooked meat and dairy eaten before. it's highly more likely if the child was C-section, and not breastfed. it's called a neudevelopmental disorder for a reason. most autists don't have amazing "neurodivergent" gifts; they just suffer.

The reason the number of *diagnosed* people with autism is increasing is because we've expanded the *definition* of autism, and because we've increased awareness of the disorder. *I* have Asperger's, which until recently was seen as distinct from autism, but is now seen as a part of the autism spectrum. The autism I have is relatively subtle, because I can understand irony and metaphors really well, and I probably wouldn't have been diagnosed a few decades ago.

Absolutely false, there has been an expansion in diagnosis and diagnostic criteria, but it doesn't account for the veritable explosion of autism rates that is occurring recently. I know this is anecdotal, but literally all of the babies of family, friends, etc that I am aware of (maybe a half dozen or so atm) have autistic symptoms. They are not related to each other and are from diverse backgrounds. I have a family member who works in early childcare, and they have an enormous number of autistic students. Whatever the exact causes, this is most definitely a real thing, not just the result of improved diagnosis.

on the point that the incidence of autism has increased over the past few decades, this is largely due to an increase in awareness of less obvious autistic symptoms in ondividuals with low/no care needs. In essence, people who don't necessarily seem autistic are now increasingly being diagnosed, which is unlikely to be a result of vaccines or age of parents and so on. As mentioned in passing, autism is a spectrum and not a monolith, and so it is very different for different people

Absolutely. Especially when it came to those moms describing autism, they used a lot of really horribly worded rhetoric to describe autism. One of the mothers even said they would tear their own limbs off to get their child to stop stimming, which is a horrible thing to wish upon your child call my especially since when most stimming is harmless.

Some of them stim to the point it is harmful; scratching skin off, pulling hair or skin off, chewing on body parts, slapping themselves, etc… you’re portraying autism as a harmless disorder that doesn’t affect people, and that is dishonest. Frankly, if you have high functioning autism, I don’t even think you should be diagnosed with it. It would be like diagnosing someone with “low-grade adhd” because they have a few of the symptoms but not all of them. I’ve literally met people that have been diagnosed with autism because they have things they are really interested in, don’t understand people, don’t like looking people in the eye, and don’t like leaving there home. That’s not autism from where I’m sitting… that is normal. Screeching at me because you can’t form the words to express yourself, an inability to recognize my emotions, and excessively continuous stimming that can last all day… THAT is autism. Some people just want an excuse to not work on their character flaws, and that is what seeking fake diagnosis does, it provides some people with their excuse for being a flawed human being.

Autistic people were not interviewed, nor were their opinions and experiences considered in this video. Their absence was not explained by Vice. Perhaps Vice felt the opinions of autistics too insignificant to bother thinking about. Cannabis, may very well turn out to be useful for autistics, but that was also not fully explored. Did Vice seek to interview autistics using cannabis? If they did, perhaps their experiences were also too insignificant to fit in the film. This was about the ideas of mothers/parents of autistics. It was heartbreaking to hear one mother speak of her "losses", starting with her still living child! She did not loose her son, he is there. She lost her fantasy, her dream, her expectation, of the son she envisioned she will have. Who is not the son she has. Generally autism societies, and autism communities represent the interests of the parents, as seems to be the case with the activism/support group of these mothers. For some reason, autistics still are regarded as needing to be cured, among many such groups. I did not see ay alternate opinions explored here. Id have expected Vice to ask the autistics using cannabis if their hoping for a cure. This was disappointedly another film pedling misconceptions and ignoring the knowledge, and experiences of autistics themselves.

You do realize that their sense of loss is valid because there was a change for them that had a huge impact on them. Clearly these mothers love their children, hold space for people to grieve the child they thought they had prior to the diagnosis

Anything is possible when raising a family, and for someone to put the blame on a *child* for their own personal and familial dysfunction rather than taking accountability for being unable to cope with that stress is very unfair and immature. The child didn't ask to be autistic, just as much as the parents and family didn't ask for an autistic child. But neurotypical (non-autistic) adults are fully capable of educating themselves, learning to accommodate, and seeking professional help if they can't cope with the change. We wouldn't say this about any other terminal illness or disability like cancer or seizures that requires accommodation (I'm not comparing these disorders and cancer, it's to demonstrate the unfairness of shifting the blame to the child). Not everything is about the family and parents, we have to keep an autistic person's wellbeing in mind too

As an autistic adult (I was diagnosed when I was 10/11 (I don’t remember when exactly)) I’ve noticed how much weed has genuinely helped me deal with my autism. 1) socially/anxiety: one of the biggest benefits I’ve noticed is that since I feel relaxed and my anxiety lessened, I’m able to socialize normally, I can actually start convos. Before I was debilitatingly anxious, I couldn’t get out of bed, constant anxiety/panic attacks. 2) it’s helped with my hypersensitivity, sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and it can be physically painful to even just lay down in bed. Weed is the only thing that has been able to relax me when I’m in this state. It’s honestly been the best thing for me.

As someone with mild autism, I'm totally okay with not dying of polio or meningitis. Although it definitely makes more sense than during development (incidentally when vaccines are given) makes more sense than the vaccines themselves. I am curious about weed treatment for autism. But I'm insanely allergic, and I'm capable of managing my negative symptoms. So my point of view is very different from these parents. A guy I worked with years ago was treating his autism with weed, seemed to work okay for him.

I have Autism. Let me speak for people with Autism, rather than people that know me. They do not know what transpires within the confines of my skull, only I do. There are predominately two types of autism; inherited, and acquired. There is strong evidence for autism and high intelligence sharing the same genes, which is inherited autism. This is generally referred to as "high functioning autism," but this is not a medical diagnosis. The eccentrics, the weirdos? Yeah, probably just autistic. We just got better at spotting it, but it's not something that needs to be cured. It's not the end of your life, and it's not a blight on your existence. Your kid is weird, but still relatively "normal". I can tell if someone has inherited autism within minutes of meeting them. I'm not sure what it is about it, but it's almost as if they're a kindred spirit. I can see it in how they carry themselves, how they casually avert their gaze and occasionally meet mine, and this unnatural certainness to how they walk. To any fellow autists out there, I swear I'm not calling you out, but we're just so obvious to each other; or maybe I just pay too much attention. On the other hand, there are many different diseases which "cause" autism. Typically, this is what most people think of when they hear autism, but it actually represents a minority of people with autism. They have other, much more severe issues that require attention, and some of those issues can cause symptoms that *look* like autism, but it isn't. For these people, they do indeed need a cure, but it isn't for autism; it's for the disease causing autistic like symptoms. I believe a large part of the problem is the lack of understanding between these different types of Autism. I actually believe that the umbrella term for Autism and its "spectrum" is complete and total bullshit. It's 100% a cop out to actually finding an answer. What I mean is, we are understanding more and more than virtually every disease is a result of specific mutations in specific genes, and some of those genes are directly responsible for "high functioning autism." Somewhere else, there are genes responsible for a variety of developmental, neurological, or other disorders which can cause symptoms of autism.

Im going to give you a bit of advice, coming from someone who has ADHD and has been medicated since i was young. Docs prescribe it as "take the dame amount of this medication at the same time every day," but unfortunately thats not how ADHD works. With ADHD, not all days are the same. Depending on sleep levels, diet, excercise, and many other factors, some days are easier than others. On a "good" day, i dont need as much of the medication as i do on a "bad" day. And if i take the higher dose when i dont need it, i just end up overstimulated and it makes symptoms worse instead of better. The other issue with taking the same amount every day, if you use the dose based on the "bad" days, taking that amount every day causes tolerance to go up, and then the medication becomes less effective. The biggest solution i have for all this is to use IR formulations instead of XR. - You can break IR tablets in half for when you want to take less. - You can skip the morning if you are having an easy morning, and you can still take it around lunchtime if you need it for the afternoon, without worrying about being able to sleep - likewise, you can take it in the morning and skip the afternoon for lighter/half days IR is all around a more flexible medication than XR/ER

As far as treatment resistant adhd, my other question is: have you had your daughter evaluated for autism? ADHD and autism are actually very common together. Oftentimes, with people who have both, when you medicate the ADHD it actually reveals more symptoms of autism.

Some weekend days she skips it altogether unless we have plans or something she needs to be able to focus a little more for. But i do worry about the tolerance issue, so i appreciate the feedback on that. And i have thought there is a chance she could be on the spectrum and that is why she doesnt respond very much to the meds, but there is a waiting list to get her tested in our area. She is on the list now so hopefully that will happen soon 🙏 thanks again!! 🖤

@shannonbritton5313 yeah, skipping it on the weekends is generally a good idea, unless its specifically needed (homework, music lessons, cleaning/chores, certain personal projects). Glad to hear she is on the list to be evaluated for autism. On your end, the most important part is going to be making sure you are open, understanding, and accepting of her. Her brain works differently to a neurotypical brain, and sometimes that will make it very difficult to understand how she's feeling. It's going to be important that you trust what she tells you about her experience. One of the hardest things for neurodivergent kids is that by the time they're an adult, they have heard tens of thousands of more pieces of negative criticism than a neurotypical kid would have. She needs your understanding and compassion when it comes to mistakes.

The ONLY people saying vaccines cause autism are folks who aren't even autistic. Let me tell you straight that is incredibly offensive to anyone with the condition. This is something I was born with. NONE of my symptoms came about through vaccinations, in fact they continued to progress throughout most of my life where I have had no vaccinations at all (my Covid shots were the first since over a decade). To affix blame to a disability is disgusting. These ideologies do not speak for me, and it only shows sheer stupidity.

i dont like how people talk about their austistic kids as if they “lost them” to autism. You decided to have a kid, and kids come in many shapes and forms and abilities and that’s a risk you take when you bring another human being into this world. You didnt lose anything, you gained the responibility you would’ve had in one way or another. Society and sometimes their own spouses, still fail parents of autistic children but that is not your childs fault. It upsets me hearing people talk about their autistic kids in that way, like they ruined the parents marriage.. maybe that shouldve been a conversation you had with that person before you had kids with them.

If it didn't have possible risks, it wouldn't work. I take issue with this piece for numerous reasons, especially the "curing autism" ideology. I really fear that some of these moms, especially the ones who view stimming as bad, are just going to end up getting their kids high, revelling in the fact that their kids act "less autistic", and essentially keeping their kids on pot for the rest of the life because they view it as entirely beneficial.

It absolutely can have negative side effects, much like any other pharmaceutical prescription they may try to put a child on instead. I was given Adderall at age 12, I think that is more dangerous than a cannabis tincture, which has higher rates of CBD. Smoking and recreationally consuming cannabis at a young age can have many negative effects on a person, much like drinking at any age in excess. But seeing how we already have studies proving cbd and cannabis can help children with epilepsy why should we not even study how it may help autistic children instead of pumping them full of pharmaceuticals which are harmful when it comes to side effects. There is nothing wrong with using both, but there needs to be studies, which means cannabis can not be a schedule 1 substance.

Loved this episode. I'm so happy these families were able to find a solution or at least the start of one. I imagine a lot of them will be moving here to CO soon if this works well and if PA doesn't get faster to get dispensaries in their state
