About this listen

Meet the Ohio mother taking on the powers that be for medical marijuana for autism: Tiffany Carwile, who seems to never sleep.

For the third year in a row, the Ohio Medical Board has refused to approve autism spectrum disorder as one of the state’s 25 qualifying conditions for medical marijuana. 

So Carwile is taking her arguments, based on science and experience, to Ohio’s legislators and governor. 

Carwile, president of the Autism Alliance of Ohio, said the most recent round of negative responses from the Ohio Medical Board was disheartening but “failure is not an option, for me or for my son.” Carwile’s 7-year-old son Jaxsyn was diagnosed with severe low-functioning autism in 2016.
