CBD OIL

Tried it doesn't work. Along with the majority of antipsychotics I learnt what works well for nurotypical minds doesn't work for Autistic minds are trauma and anxiety comes from the toxic breed known as nurotypicals if we were truly accepted in a nurotypical world we wouldn't have a problem with anxiety. The doctors tell you it's because your Autistic and that's why you have anxiety the real reason we have anxiety is cause the world's a messed up place and people are hostile and toxic towards.

You can only say that it did not work for you. It does work for me and I am diagnosed as having ASC. Though things could be improved a lot for autistic people in society, it is obvious that society will be best fitted to the  neurotypical as they are in the overwhelming majority.

ASC is ASD it's just the politically correct yank term for it it's a placebo dude a cleaver marketing scam you guys just use the term condition instead of disorder cause you think it sounds more pc even though in reality both words mean the same thing.

My pleasure. I particularly like the origins of 'grass', as in 'grassing someone up'. The second word is almost never used these days but it was 'hopper'. 'Grasshopper' rhymes with 'shopper', someone who 'shops' - sells others out - usually to the police.

+1 for using one of my favourite bits of cockney rhyming slang...

I think the negative stereotypes are unfortunately out there with most terms.  It'd be great if ASC could be seen in a positive light, as implying a good condition, but I mostly see it used in a way similar to "long term health condition", which medicalises us.  

I️ wish this would change.  Likewise the negative connotations of "autistic".  

I was being challenged over my use of ASC; I use 'autistic' most of the time, but that does have baggage in the form of negative stereotypes for many people. I quite like 'condition' as it can be 'good', as in "He's in good condition". In contrast you cannot really have 'good disorder'.

Yes CBD definitely helps me too, although I'm careful about the potency of the product because the market has been flooded now, and some products contain hardly any.  

And, although I got diagnosed with ASD, I avoid both this and ASC and just use "autistic".  I don't think of myself as disordered but to me "condition" feels derogatory too, albeit watered down and slightly preferable.  However, both seem to be useful "handles" in order to access any DWP assistance or indeed medical cannabis, and the terminology I use for officialdom is very different from my everyday use.  I wish it didn't need to be that way but it opens doors, I think.  

I tend to use the term ASC for a number of reasons. Firstly, because it is the term used in my clinical diagnosis. Secondly, it is more accurate, as I am not 'disordered', my mind is far more logical than most people's, though I have a neurological condition that affects some aspects of social interaction and sensory processing. I am not a septic tank, neither was the psychiatrist who diagnosed me.
