You might be interested in this interview with Dr Miyabe Shields about cannabis and ADHD and autism. I mentioned it in a thread on /c/neurodiverse last week, but I'm starting to feel like it needs it's own post because it keeps coming up.
One of my big takeaways was that she truly believes that most daily users of cannabis are self-medicating neurodivergents trying to survive in a neurotypical word.

Dr. Miyabe Shields has a PhD in endocannabinoid pharmsci and is co-creator of 'Network of Applied Pharmacognosy' with Dr. Riley Kirk, a non-profit contributing to education and destigmatising of emerging medicinal natural products. Miyabe is also a thriving queer and neurodivergent Instagram personality with over 40K followers, which is often used to promote 'Project Chronic' from 'Dose Like A Scientist', a community-based educational platform for neurodivergents providing a network, teaching them about pharmacology and advocacy.
This is super interesting, and something that I can definitely believe. I don't even like thinking about life before I was smoking everyday. I was so angry all the time, I was always overwhelmed. Weed works really well for a lot of the issues I face due to neurodivergence. However I think it could also be preventing me from getting better help from other meds
