    Can you explain what symptoms its supposed to relieve, and is that while high or after? The big thing I notice after is I'm in a much better mood the next day. I guess I also don't really "track" my autism symptoms too much?

    All the little things that make my brain tick while sober, so much better. Textures, food, music, stimming, they all feel even better. I don't know how much of that is weed and how much is autism but it feels like they gel well together for me.

      Cannabis and cannabinoids have very promising effects in the treatment of autistic symptoms and can be used in the future as an important therapeutic alternative to relieve those symptoms, especially bouts of self-mutilation and anger, hyperactivity, sleep problems, anxiety, restlessness, psychomotor agitation, irritability, and aggressiveness; as well as improve sensory sensitivity, cognition, attention, social interaction, language, perseverance, and depression.

          lol maybe that’s why it’s not your thing. I have no aggression either, but I basically have all the other symptoms - which are associated with ADHD, same thing theory? Comorbidity? Idk. Still have more to look into on that side of things.

            Yeah it's more than likely why cannabis didn't do much. My brain wiring negates cocaine and caffeine too but I did enjoy some other drugs I have dabbled with. I did have hyperactivity when I was young at least that's what I was told but don't have it now. There's a wide swath of comorbidity for sure.

              Caffeine doesn’t work normally on me either. Curious what cocaine would do tho I can’t see myself trying it in the foreseeable future.

                I've dabbled with a lot and some would be great others not so much, depends really on how your brain works.

        It looks like they are mostly talking about CBD or high CBD/low THC levels, which isn't what I'm using (probably just inserting myself into something I shouldn't, oops). I do think CBD is a good option to look into, no risk (afaik), and if you think it would help I would definitely recommend getting some. I don't think there are any age restrictions either. Looking at this link I want to try it too.

        I definitely get some of those benefits from delta 8, during and in the days after. Being able to get those benefits with something non psychoactive would be really nice.
