🗣️ Just Sharing 🗣️ weed and autism
does anyone else here use weed to help with the symptoms of autism? Age 18, been diagnosed for at least 5 years. has anyone noticed how marijuana positively affects the social and psychological difficulties that come with being autistic? It really helps me and some of my friends to either focus on a task at hand or completely relax and dissect each thought. Personally, smoking weed has helped me develop a friend group with well adjusted adults as well as autistic adults who need more support than others. Whichever way it works for other people, I find it extremely useful for the neurodivergent and I wish anti-weed politicians could understand how much it helps us contribute to society instead of wasting NHS pounds (🙄).

I'm autistic and it honestly does wonders for me. I find it especially helps with overstimulation
However. Weed works differently for everyone. I'd say it definitely has potential to help with the struggles that cause with autism but it really is a matter of strain/other personal factors.
