I am and have been working on creating a hybrid strain that could be used to help people with autism.I would love to know what has provided relief or helps functionality.I would also like to know of what an autistic people are looking for in terms of medical value in their strain .To often are prescription drugs pushed with extreme consequences on the brain ,I believe we have a natural remedie that has far less consequences,mentally,physically and needs to be accepted more socially,another part of my goal is acceptance and medical recognition of cannabis as an affective medicine for autistic people.
 
I value your work man:worship:

While I don't have autism, I am afflicted with epilepsy. I do know that many of the same things that benefit epileptics also benefit those with autism. Diet and what toxins and environments you are exposed to has a huge impact. Excitotoxicity and glutamatergic activity in the brain are major stressors.

I would imagine a high CBD strain is most effective. As an epileptic I have had seizures induced by cannibis. I haven't been able to decipher if it was a strain that was too high in thc and low in cbd that gave me problems, or something else altogether. I don't ever have increased seizure activity from sativa dominant strains for what it's worth.

Looking forward to your efforts!
Cheers:biggrin:
 
@dankstyle J I was curious as to what strains you are considering for autism?
My dream would be a high CBD Durban Poison. I have much to learn about breeding and look to start up a project with these strains eventually.
I believe a high Cbd strain definitely has it's purposes,and medical value is indisputable,the strains I have found relief with are more on the high thc side and contain more of a sativa influence while remaining hybrid.The Chem dog family (diesel,og,headband)have provided me with amazing relief,helping with social anxiety,and aiding in communication skills basically a feeling of being comfortable in my own skin.
 
Skunk#1 strains have also provided relief and there line is very obvious in diesel strains.I get the best relief from more of a headband strain a mixing of kush and diesel genetics but the skunk is very obvious and plays a major part in the strains affect.Skunk [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] is an excellent strain by itself and helps alot ,but I have fallen in love with its crosses also ,for medical value and it's ability to fight depression it's a great strain to have in a plants genetic makeup.

Totally agree with the Skunk [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] for depression. I haven' been growing my own meds for a few years now. The menu I have had available to me for the past few months has included Grunk - Grape Ape and Skunk [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]. I absolutely love this strain and am working on getting a cutting. Great outdoor northern cali flowers. Just puts me in a great state of mind :smoking:

Sounds like a really nice strain,Cali definitely has some great strains,I'm in Oregon we got a few good ones as well,other states will start dropping more wonderful genetics as,legalization hits more and becomes more of the norm .

Good to hear that mate as I suffer the same issues listed above. So do you mean diesel and OG strains in general help? I currently have young chem city blues and SODK babies on the go and am hoping they give me relief with what you describe above. I have been smoking toofless alien for a couple of weeks and thats good for social anxiety and general well being. But not good for sleep for me personally.

Yes exactly diesel strains ,crossed with og (day wrecker)(headband) and sometimes underdog og they call it ,sodk was an excellent strain for the relief of anxiety and provided a general well being feeling.og and diesel both contain Chem dog and Chem dog is a good strain as well and definitely lends the uplifting part to the mix ,most of these strains aren't the best for sleep I go for a heavy indica for that but are excellent for upbeat positive stimulation.
