					<description><![CDATA[Hey, I am one of the many out there who have regressed into a fully-blown Autistic state. I&#039;ve known since day one that &#039;Autism&#039; is the END RESULT of PATHOLOGY. Me, as an individual organism with my unique neurochemistry has ZERO pathology to show for my Autism, despite my subjective experience and my affect.

What brought me to your website was encephalitis/encephalopathy. I KNOW my immune system isn&#039;t right. WHY? Because every time I use CBD and activate those CB2 receptors in the periphery, I am bed bound with vomiting, sickness behaviour and vomiting. What else have I noticed? GABA and GLUTAMATE! THC activates the CB1 receptors and inhibits intracellular calcium which gives me INSTANT (WITHIN SECONDS) relief of SEVERE sensory issues. I was house-bound after my brain was ruined by Venlafaxine (an SNRI) which led to my brain unable to tolerate a humming sound, let alone use a phone or watch TV or read. Pure silence just left to rot until I started using cannabis. I can laugh, enjoy music, and I don&#039;t shut up, whereas I am not far from mute. My brain literally has nothing to say.

I regressed at age 21 after a period of INTENSE exercise (boxing) and now I&#039;m 28. Misdiagnosed with ME/CFS, but on paper all my symptoms match. According to time and dates, it&#039;s wrong. I&#039;ve been punched which broke my jaw at 14 and I had whiplash in a car crash a year before.

I genuinely believe my body is going through a state of &#039;immuno-excito-toxicity&#039; or something similar. These are my symptoms now at age 28:

. Can&#039;t tolerate much eye contact (wear sunglasses in the rain and in public)
. Limbic system activation (fear) when I accidentally make eye contact with people.
. Decrease in executive functioning (frontal issues)
. Constant cortical pressure at the front of my brain (feels bruised)
. Unable to make decisions (especially on the spot)
. Hand deformity (x-ray says it&#039;s normal, but it isn&#039;t)
. ADULT-ONSET paranoia and delusions (I genuinely believe these assholes want people to be unwell and they don&#039;t give a fuck about anyone UNLESS there&#039;s profit.
. Severe muscle fatigue (ATP issues triggered by intense exercise)
. Anhedonia

These are a few symptoms that came to me. Parents, love your children and KNOW that THEY are right, not you. ALWAYS listen. Our brains aren&#039;t like yours, so stop projecting your desires on your child. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WIRING. This isn&#039;t a MIND thing. It&#039;s not a WILL thing either. The &#039;mind&#039; and the &#039;will&#039; are an END PRODUCT of neurochemistry, not the beginning.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, thank you for your broad information. I have a 13 year old non verbal child. How can he be assisted with the treatment of Immuno therapies, JVIG to reduce the core symptoms of autism eg social and language impairment, ability to read and write, loss of eye contact etc]]></description>
