Medicinal Cannabis to Treat Autism Related Anxiety?

Chissy

After my diagnosis, I was recommended to try a consultation with a medicinal cannabis company as they recommended it for trying to combat my anxiety levels. It's these levels that really hinder me the most in learning what makes me tick.

Does anyone have any experience with it? Anti depressants have never really done much for me, I've tried methylphenedrate for my ADHD and although, yes it's great for concentrating on a task, doing anything else is like doing a handbrake turn in a train...

  • It can help, or at least it has helped me, I didn't like all the hoops companies want you to jump through and it can be very expensive.

    I've had CBT and all it did was give me symptom substitution, my anxiety about driving morphed into social phobia, something I'd never had before.. I don't like the idea of treating the human brain as something that can be reprogramed, it makes no sense to me.

    Talking therapies can help, you know what I really don't like the term talking therapies, it makes it sound to chatty and superficial and when it's done properly it's anything but superficial and chatty. A good therapist will help you sort out the wood from the trees, but they will always be your wood and your tree's.
