Need real advice from parents with autistic children

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've updated how things are going.

I still haven't heard back from Dr Goldstein, but I'm sure she is a very busy person, so no biggie.

As far as getting my son cbd, I've placed an order with blue bird botanicals, I'm awaiting shipment. I haven't found solid dosage info yet, so I'll start small and see what happens.

On thanksgiving we had some family issues, my wife's grandad had a heart attack and things were glum as to be expected. He is out of the hospital now, we just don't know how lo g he will last. He is 84, and his health obviously failing. I think that when he passes, my son is going to take it hard as he is very close to pap.

Other than that we are still working with him around the clock giving him all the love we have. For Christmas my wife and I are making him a bunch of sensory toys, that we think will help him.

As far as growing a high cbd low THC strain for him, I think I got burned by seedsman, I ordered a few weeks ago and have yet to recieve the beans. Looking into possibly obtaining a clone of candida CD 1 or another high cbd strain.

I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving, and will have a great holiday season. We are into working 12hr days 7 days a week mandatory overtime at work so it may be awhile before I can update y'all on how things are going. I'm going to try my damndest to give you folks an update on how the cbd oil helps my son after we get it in the mail.

Again I'd like to thank all of you for your advice and support.

Until next time

Wow, what a whirlwind of activity. It makes me tired just reading it. I hope that your beans show up soon, and that the doc can make the time to contact you. Hang in there, man. Life gets nuts sometimes. Thanks for the update, keep 'em coming when you can...

.....snip.....
Call her office back mid January and ask to speak to her nurse. Let her nurse you have an autistic son and need a recommendation to a doctor close to you, or if she has any other suggestions. Make sure you get the nurses name. You don't need to speak with the doctor her nurse, or medical assistant, can relay the information you need.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Hey everyone, hope all are well.

It's been a minute since I've updated this due to continued crazy mandatory overtime at work.

Thank fully it comes to an end on the 22nd, and we have a break until January second. Looking forward to spending time with the family.

Anyhow, my son is improving daily with blue bird botanicals cbd oil. It's truly a life changer for him. The gummies we got helped, but I think they were weak as I don't remember the exact dosage.

Atlas has stopped being aggressive, he has also stopped refusing to eat. Numerous other little things, but the ultimate thing that is changing is speech. He is speaking new words daily, and he is putting together small sentences. The other day, Wednesday specifically, I was making everyone breakfast, benefits of working second shift, he was at the table coloring while I was cooking when out of nowhere he clearly said, " I love you daddy." It caught me by surprise, my wife too.

There is hope, things are quickly changing for the better. It's the greatest Christmas gift my wife and I could ask for.

Hey everyone hope you all have had a great start to the new year.

An update on my boy;

I've found a Dr who is 420 friendly so to speak. I've also completed all necessary paperwork through the state to become his caregiver and to obtain his med license. It's been about a week, just waiting for everything to be finalized now.

Things are going great on this front. Atlas has done a 180, he is still learning new words everyday, he hasn't exhibited self abusive behaviour or been aggressive towards his brother in weeks. He actually plays with his toys properly instead of just throwing things.

This is one very proud, very happy father. His teachers are all baffled by his turn around as well, all of them were anti cannabis, yet after seeing first hand, they realize that everything they've been told is senseless propaganda.

I've also applied for my own med card, I got diagnosed with crohn's disease a few years back, that's not what this thread is about though.

Just thought I'd let all you fine folks know what's been going on since the last update. Again, thank you all for your encouragement and support.

That is amazing news! Did you make him some cbd canna caps? Or is he taking a tincture? Great new on his progress though!

Congrats. What kind of cannabs is in the tincture (cbd, thc)?
Currently he is is using bluebird botanicals cbd only tincture.

I'm just starting some dinamed from dinafem, that once completed the first run, I'll send sample to a lab, highest cbd pheno will be kept, and I'll make tincture and edibles for him.

Once dispensarys start opening up here I'll see what's what. Not expecting great things from them here for awhile honestly.

Yeah, when I tell an anti that cbd isn't psychotropic and isn't even a controlled substance, they look at me like I have two heads, but they listen to the results of studies........

This, this all day. It's funny how thanks to thr media most don't know that there is anything other than THC in cannabis.

My favorite is that it causes schizophrenia. Thank you war on drugs.

seems like most people are interested in the studies and such. The propaganda that has filled in peoples head since the late 30' till now is just amazes me. Then when people actually see the effect, they get what i like to call "the light bulb" moment....then they finally realize all the BS people have been say is really what it is BS.

to hear people's success stories, and to see it first hand makes me wanna grow more and more.

The sad thing is there has been little actual research done. What has been passing for research has been agendized with the intent to demonize, paid for by the usual suspects.
