endocannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a set of complex neuro- developmental disorders defined behaviorally by impaired social interaction, delayed and disordered language, repetitive or stereotypic behavior, and a restricted range of interests. How can medical cannabis help a complex problem like autism? The key seems to be our Endocannabinoid System - the master regulatory system in our body. Recent research implicates the endocannabinoid deficiencies and a dysregulated endcannbinoid system in the diagnosis and potential treatment of autism.
