The government school model doesn't work for us. I think we could be great for the World if we get on the right track. People like us aren't meant to be trained to be factory workers like our educational system does.

I'm 35 with a bachelors and I can't do anything because 95% of life is based on being social and being in public. I can only write emails or talk online. I can't use a phone.

And cannabis oil (low THC, high CBD, won't get you high) is the only thing after 22 synthetic pharmacy prescriptions all failed and made life much worse.

I'm 35. When will I have the legal right to stop this insanity inside my mind safely? Why isn't cannabis oil in every household by now? Why are people fighting cannabis and not fentynal?

I also wonder, if companies in general decide to ever have an adaptive or accommodation policy for those with AS or similar issues, how much would it cost and would it be feasible? Of course, I know this will vary by the industry.

Well hopefully cannabis will be legalized nationwide soon, then the next step would be to get rid of the barrier for people with past cannabis violations to get into the industry....a lot of those people have a lot of knowledge on how to grow it and such. But cannabis is still considered a scedule 1 drug by the federal government, right up there with heroin. Its obviously inaccurate but that is the current law.
