CBD may benefit children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) due to its potential sedative properties and ability to reduce anxiety, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. CBD can also help control motor disorders because it can have sedative properties that are needed to allow the body to relax. In addition, CBD can help control epileptic seizures, which are common in autistic children.
However, it is important to mention that although CBD is a natural and safe product, its effects may differ from the child’s typical ASD symptoms, so it is important to consult a doctor before using CBD for a child. It is also important to choose a quality product, get recommendations from reliable specialists and follow the correct dosage and instructions for use.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is derived from the hemp plant and is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Research shows that CBD may have many beneficial properties for children with autism spectrum disorders.
Small doses of CBD can help with stress, sleep disorders, hyperactivity and reactivity to external stimuli. High doses can help reduce aggression, self-injurious behavior, and insomnia.
However, it is important to consult your doctor and carry out individual dosing, as each patient may require different doses.
