Give Your Autistic Kid Some Marijuana!
By Shane on Jul 23, 2010 | In Announcements | 2 feedbacks »
Did the title get your attention? I thought so. Now let me back up from that statement and mention that I've never given my son marijuana, weed, pot, grass, guanja, or whatever you want to call it. But my son's autism has never been extreme enough to demand it. However, there have been occasions, usually after a huge autism meltdown, when I've thought that a fat joint and a beer could benefit me.
I'm writing on this topic because, once again, it has been thrust into the spotlight by ABC News.
Behavior Trips on Our Camping Trip

We went camping a couple years ago. I mean tent camping, not luxury camping with a trailer, generator, and all the comforts of home. I'm talking about roughing it. Dirt. Bugs. Flashlights. It was no fun camping with a 6-year-old autistic kid. It was a chore.
This weekend we went camping again. More dirt. More bugs. More regret. Camping with an 8-year-old autistic kid is no more fun than camping with a 6-year-old autistic kid. It was difficult and there was little structure to our days. Sleeping in a tent is not our norm. And it really gave us an appreciation for indoor plumbing.
getting in line

good evening everybody!
a few weeks ago i posted a blog titled "rambling thoughts after reading recent study", or something very similar to that. during that blog i tried my best to explain the overall characteristics of autism and how to recognize them. i hope that i was somewhat helpful to those of you out there that may be wondering if your child is autistic.
when trying to verbally explain some of the things that sir dantes does, i have some people respond, "well, i do some of those things" or "it seems like we all may be a little autistic". and i can see that understanding. after all, there are a lot of people who are shy and don't do well in social situations...so are they autistic? more than likely not. it takes more than that; but there are a lot of people who have habits or personality traits that are similar to those of an autistic person.
