Use of cannabidiol in the signs and comorbidities in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An integrative review. Mental [online]. 2025, vol.17, n.32, pp.72-81.  Epub 10-Nov-2025.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in communication and social interaction, as well as repetitive behavior patterns. Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a therapeutic alternative due to the side effects of traditional treatments. This study aims to review clinical studies on the use of CBD in ASD, evaluating its benefits and side effects. To this end, publications were searched in Medline and PubMed using the descriptors: autism, cannabidiol, child, treatment. The results indicate that CBD has shown benefits, including a reduction in hyperactivity, self-injury, and temper outbursts, with mild and manageable side effects. It is concluded that CBD use has led to improvements in ASD symptoms, but further large-scale clinical trials are necessary to confirm its effectiveness.
