| In a very few, very rare cases you can get a legal prescription for cannabis. Reasons are rare, severe forms of epilepsy, severe nausea from chemo treatment and muscle pain from MS. It says they only consider it if they've tried everything else without success. So it sounds like your chances of get... |

| Just curious if anyone here uses medical cannabis for their autism (or autism related) symptoms? I've never used cannabis in anyway at all, so I don't know much about it, but I do hear that people use it for curing practically everything, including autism/aspergers, anxiety, and depression. Cannabis... |

| Can't remember if its been mentioned before, but Craig Evan's "Autism Hangout" is an excellent channel. For the last 15 years or so he has done a series called Ask Dr Tony, where viewers submit questions for Tony Attwood to answer/discuss. https://www.youtube.com/@autismhangout They recent... |

| Is It Wrong To Want A Cure For Myself? Certainly not. In fact, I'll have one as well please. I don't know if AS etc will ever be curable (or even treatable), but the problem at the moment are anti-science activists who seem keen on ensuring that those of us who want a cure don't get it. We pretty m... |

| I went to Morrison's yesterday but went at 9am. If only I'd have realised that waiting at home several hours and going later at a much more inconvenient time would have saved me from the horrors of supermarket shopping. Seriously, why do they bother with all this crap? The choice of music on the tan... |

| I'd be interested to know what sort of real world problems these people have. We often hear in the media about people who have social lives, relationships, jobs/businesses, and they seem to have every mental diagnosis in existence. Then there's me, unable to do any of the above, with one single diag... |

| I expect that is just because Autism and ADHD are fashionable at the moment. I wonder if they would pay for other conditions. For example, some years back I had surgery on my nose to help my breathing. Would they have paid for that? It has been more useful than my Aspergers diagnosis ever has been. |

| I spend most days stuck in this room with no daylight and no one to talk to. If that is not lonely enough, I also live with my Mother (whom I despise), and (as I've mentioned in other threads) is retired now. That means she is here all day every day too, and that means even getting a simple cup of c... |

It was first mentioned [shouted] to me when I was being forcibly dragged out of school and into a doctors office. Consequently I was highly offended and very upset.
I had heard of Aspergers and Autism before. Didn't know a lot about them, but I had read about them before. |

I just thought I'd update this topic...
Its now late 2023 which means I've been off the anti-depressants for over two years now.
Still feeling absolutely horrendous, but at least there's no crappy healthcare system to deal with. |
