I'd like to add an experience that me and my wife have had using CBD oil on our 5 year old who has autism. We have been giving it to him for some time. I can't say that we have seen much effect. For the six plus months we were giving it to him it was being administered in his morning glass of chocolate milk. However recently, during one of his bad fits in which he is laying on the floor hitting his head into the ground me and my wife took the oral syringe and sucked up a milliliter and shot it directly into his mouth. Within about 15 seconds he wiped his eyes got up sat in his little chair and started to look at his book. We were truly in disbelief. At first I really couldn't believe it because I did not feel that whether you put it into chocolate milk or shot it directly into his mouth and let him swallow it would make that big of a difference but apparently it does. He has been doing much better and his Tantrums have subsided greatly. Before administering it this way he was starting to attack my wife multiple times a day by trying to grab her hair when he was frustrated and scratching her. He didn't mean it, but you know how it goes. Anyways for what it's worth this is my anecdotal experience with CBD oil. And now we give it to him orally twice a day and he is improving all the time.
I use the gummy bears I get a great deal on them

That's cool. My wife wants to pick up the lotion for her aching hands
I know this Thread dried out little over a year ago but I ran across it and read thru the entire thing, incredibly interesting and I’m sure most parents with kids with Autism may or not be aware of is how great of an affect the foods being consumed have an effect on brain and cognitive function.
Years ago when I was dating a girl she had a 5 year old daughter with Autism, she rarely spoke and was on the quiet side especially with interaction with others she did not know.
We had placed her on a Gluten Free/Casein Free diet and after a couple weeks there was an incredible change on her. She became much more interactive and would utilize her voice so much more.
Also we noticed the amount of her “Stimming” had reduced significantly, not eliminated but was a big change.
We had kept her on the diet for some time but always wondered when she could eventually be taken off the diet without suffering adverse reactions and regressing to her past state.
Fast forwarding to now, our relationship didn’t last and they both left their separate ways, but going thru the experience was something that really stuck with me and with anyone else who may be interested, the diet change really did make a difference.
Perhaps this information will find someone else and I just wanted to take a moment to share.

I feel for you parents going through all this. My kid is just about to finish high school. He went through a bunch of tests and was listed as having many of these issues. Back in my day there wasn't much research done on all this and now it explains a hell of a lot about me lol! Not to sound like a materialistic weasel or anything but if your child is diagnosed with something make sure you look into any tax deductions. I didn't know you could until the psychologist told me and the next tax year I read issued a 30,000 refund for all the years I could go back. Mind you this is north of the border but I'm sure something exists in the States too. It helps especially when you need a parent to stay home a lot more to attend your child.

Interesting thread. About 15 years ago (around 40 yo) I was diagnosed with what is now called 'Autism Spectrum Disorder' after suffering thru elementary and high school as a barely functioning kid and carrying this crap into adulthood.
I had (have) severe ADD/ADHD, Asperger's, and impulse control issues. I grew up feeling totally out of place and usually being labeled 'weird' when around someone new or even someone I just didn't know well. Had a ton of hobbies (motocross, lifting, playing in bands, art, etc) and lots of acquaintances. But essentially no real friends. I was just too oddball. Caused a ton of angst as a kid and also had to endure my parent's treatment for the condition, which involved lots of beatings with a leather belt and with switches. They weren't bad people ... they just didn't know any better.
Adulthood wasn't AS bad but has still been problematic. I have developed coping mechanisms for my obsessive/compulsive behavior, learned to look people in the eye when I talk to them and stay on track with conversations, learned how to moderate my frustration level and over-the-top response to certain stimuli. Things like that. It hasn't been easy. I have been married four times, at least partially due to my 'illness'. But I've also managed to be successful as a soldier, a software developer, a father and husband, and I'm now working in healthcare. I've built a decent life after all and I am very content.
So hang in there parents! It IS workable.

Currently going through Ocupational therapy for my child that’s is 3 1/2. To think all these whinny nights of going to bed or out burst of “crazy time” was him just trying to express himself. We learned with sensory things such as little out bursts we bear hug him and give him 4-5 pulses during the hug. Apparently
Helps. Idk, I’m very new to this.

Any updates?
I've recently been reading a lot about the influence of nutrition on the brain work. And I have come across much information about lecithin additive, which feeds the brain and helps it to adapt.
The other thing is the celiac disease and it's influence. Many families proved that having gluten-free diet helped them a lot with speech adaptation, anger outbursts and eye contact.
There is not much of a scientific proof yet, but it's worth trying, I guess.

I have to say ... during roughly 15 years on a vegetarian and gluten-free diet in my 30s and 40s my symptoms improved. And therapy helped. I'm still a round peg trying to fit in a square hole but it's better.
It's good to hear that the therapy works for you. 15 years, though, when this method of treatment was not advertised yet. How did you come to this idea? Was it some recommendation or your own observation?

Not recommended by anyone. I've been a Buddhist since I was a teen and during several years of intensive practice in various temples I just fell into lacto-ovo. And info on wheat was already around back then. Many temples were already using almond flour and other wheat alternatives. It was about the same time I was 'officially' diagnosed and began therapy.
But I have always believed the diet helped, as well. Because it was obvious during periods of intensive lifting (tried powerlifting for a while) and I was off the diet, it seemed I took a step backwards. The aspergers, ADHD, and impulse control issues kinda resurfaced, even though still in therapy.
Of course ... it coulda been the steroids.

Note ... I saw where I wrote earlier that I was dx'd at 40. It was actually in my early 30s. Dunno why I wrote 40.

Do you also adhere to Buddhism now, or have you moved away from this philosophy?Not recommended by anyone.
