Summary
Hunter Walker (pseudonym) is a 9-year old boy presenting to the neurology clinic for follow-up for controlled focal motor seizures, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with severe behavioral symptoms. His current medication regime includes clobazam and lacosamide. His mother is having a lot of trouble managing his behavior at home. Ms Walker does have a friend who has been successful in managing her son’s ASD behavioral outbursts with cannabidiol oil. Ms Walker was hesitant to add another medication and insists on trying something more “natural.” She comes to us for our professional opinion on cannabidiol oil use in ASD
