>Medical marijuana may improve symptoms of autism in children and young adults, a review suggests.
Researchers in Brazil found children and teenagers taking cannabidiol (CBD) orally as a liquid had 'significant' improvements in social skills and disruptive behaviors like aggression and tantrums.
CBD - a naturally occurring compound in cannabis - also helped autistic children sleep better and feel less anxious.
There was also no 'significant difference' in side effects like fatigue and appetite changes, suggesting CBD has a 'favorable safety profile.'
This suggests CBD could be used in autism treatment plans alongside standard therapies, the researchers said.
