My thoughts on Substance abuse during pregnancy!!!

Im in no way saying that substance abuse alone is the cause of autism, I know that healthy, responsible people can still have babies with autism. Im just saying in my opinion, I feel that the substance abuse has caused this child's disability.

@cheekydevilmartina yeh i didnt know i had autism till the age i am now 19. i went drs to see about adhd and they said my grades were to 'high' so took quite a few appointments to actually get them to do anything

@JacobHazelSykes agreeed! problem with people smoking while preggers is the fact they still put the tobacco in the joint and tobacco is a hell of alot worse

@GanjaGem but IF u do choose to go dwn the route of wanting some dont smoke! vapour or injest

stop being so selfish and what also piss's me off is if there kid is born with autism etc they dont even feel any guilt. & yes cannabis can help autism with the anxioty and can help you solicalise a lot more also i find it very hard to concentrate but if i have a joint i can get work done

my birth mother took many drugs towards the end of her pregnacy with me from heroin to weed to booze etcetc ive ended up with asperges , adhd & insomnia & i was born with real bad munchies had 2 bottles, the alcohol is fucking wrong . Cannabis in a very controled and small dosage isnt too bad as long as its not every single day, the cannabanoids that we already have in our body will be boosted by cannabis and help your child with growth and thrive.

Alcohol: Look up "Teratogen" on Wikipedia. Seriously, read more if you want more child safety. Passion is half the battle but education is key. In being anti-cannabis you could be arguing against the cure!

Alcohol, of Ethanol, is an organic solvent. It partially dissolves your unborn child. Cannabis does not do this!

Also, please google 'Cannabis for Autism' and 'Unconventional Foundation for Autism'.

No doubt the cigarettes and alcohol may be bad for the child, but there are cannabinoids in human breast milk. Cannabis is used to treat autism, it certainly does not cause it!

Marijuana = Cannabis

sadly autism is part of the brain not developing. . It is something that will sadly happen either way when your developing! you have to be a strong person especailly as a parents, cos its soo hard, I was a happy healthy girl when i was pregnant with my daughter and shes sadly got a low case of autism and even that can be hard to cope with. You never know your child has autism till a little later in life etc, i totally know what your saying though.
