How are you? I hope that you’ve been well! It’s National Autism Awareness Month!

Yes it’s been a long time I know but it’s been an eventful twenty days. As you may or may not know my son is on the autism spectrum. He is what many would consider “low functioning”. Mostly because he doesn’t sit in one spot staring off into space like lots of young boys and girls afflicted with this condition. No. Our particular set of blessings are quite the opposite. It is one of almost manic hyperactivity. Image a Rottweiler puppy with the energy of a humming bird! I have to continue to work out just so that I can keep up with him!

I can hear you asking, “What did we do?” We’ve turned from a pharmaceutical laundry list to what many people are turning to nowadays. Medical marijuana! We’ve heard of people writing stories about their low functioning children who started talking within a week or month or whatever! Now, hopefully is time for our miracle. So far, I can’t say whether it’s helping or not but it is effecting him on some level. Now I find out that there are lots of strains and that different dispensaries supplies may be have different effects so the hunt is on. I’ll keep you in the loop. I know you care. :)
