This is the kindest, most lucid thread I've ever seen in TNT. I'm so proud of us. OP, I raised a child with Asperger's for years (son from my wife's first marriage), and it was quite a struggle. His symptoms were very similar to your son's. We never even thought of cannabis as a treatment, not sure why since his mom and I smoked it every day. With a LOT of patience, love and special programs, he has turned out to be a charming, self-sufficient (for the most part) young man. Best of luck to you, you sound like a great dad that has what it takes...
Thank you, it really is worth the struggle. Every time they laugh or smile it's just fuel for me to always try and be a better parent on a daily basis. That being said it's tough, i work 60+ hours a week plus I have 2 step kids on top of my two. Its easy to feel burnt out, especially for my wife, who is a stay at home mom for obvious reasons.
I'm glad things are going well for your stepson, that's awesome honestly.
