Exploring the Potential of Medical Cannabis for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disability characterized by impairment in 3 major domains: social interaction, communication, and behavior patterns. It is called a spectrum disorder because it has a broad range of severity​ and symptom type. These usually appear within the first few years of life, although it can be diagnosed at any age. The ways in which people with autism learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to severely challenged. Some people with ASD may require significant support in their daily lives, while others may need less support and, in some cases, live entirely independently. Several factors may influence the development of autism, and it is often accompanied by sensory sensitivities and medical issues such as gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, seizures or sleep disorders, as well as mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and attention issues.
