A study by Autism Parenting Magazine revealed that almost 20 percent of people caring for an autistic child give them CBD products.<\/h3>\n

The autism parenting survey<\/a> was sent to 160,000 subscribers around the world revealing the extent of CBD use by parents caring for an autistic child. 18.6 percent of respondents confirmed they use CBD for a child on the spectrum to relieve a variety of their symptoms. This was further broken down to 22.16 percent of US parents compared to 14.29 percent of UK families.<\/p>\n

It is estimated<\/a> that there are 700,000 people in the UK with a diagnosis of autism. This is equal to one in 100 children in the UK.<\/p>\n

The new survey also revealed that 31.3 percent of those using CBD products started during the Covid-19 pandemic. A further 16.6 percent revealed they have increased the amount since the pandemic began. The reason for this was thought to be down to increased anxiety and panic.<\/p>\n

The data showed 76.3 percent CBD only use while the remaining 10 percent used other forms such as hemp, CD\/THC and Epidiolex or CBD with terpenes.<\/p>\n

The majority of those who responded were parents at 72.4 percent but there were also grandparents, careers, teachers, therapists, doctors or individuals on the spectrum.<\/p>\n

Autism symptom relief<\/h3>\n

The survey revealed that the primary use for CBD was anxiety relief at 42.9 percent or challenging behaviour at 36.9 percent. The rest stated pain relief, inflammation, sleep or relaxation. A small number of parents, 4.3 percent, said seizures. Other reasons were given as speech or supporting potty training.<\/p>\n

The survey also asked how much support the parents felt their child needed with 42.9 percent stating ‘requires substantial support.’ A small number at 17.9 percent said very substantial support. CBD use tended to be daily in the form of oils.<\/p>\n

Oils were a favourite amongst parents with 60.8 percent opting to use this method. Other popular methods included 21.5 percent using gummies, 7.5 percent consuming capsules or tablets. A few used lotions or balms while 1.9 percent used vapes.<\/p>\n

A large number of participants used CBD for their teenagers with 21.39 percent confirming their child was aged 13 to 18.<\/p>\n

Autism therapies<\/h4>\n

Only a small number of parents were combining the CBD with therapies at 7.4 percent. The therapy was listed as Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapy (ABA Therapy). ABA therapy<\/a> considers a person’s understanding of how behaviour works in real situations. The aim of therapy is to increase helpful and decrease unhelpful behaviours that could be harmful or affect learning. ABA is being used increasingly in the UK.<\/p>\n
