Abstract
Objective: to conduct an integrative review which seeks to analyze the effects of cannabidiol in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Method: an integrative review was conducted following several methodological steps, including identifying the topic and formulating the research question using the PICO strategy. The guiding question was: "What is the effect of Cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children and adolescents?" Inclusion criteria were defined for selecting relevant articles, followed by the search and selection of articles in scientific databases Portal Capes and PubMed, with no use of search filters. The studies were evaluated and analyzed; the results were then interpreted. Finally, the integrative review consolidated knowledge about the possible effects of CBD as an intervention for ASD. Conclusion: the integrative review highlights the possible effects of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of autism, showing significant improvement of symptoms with minimal side effects. Although still not widely disseminated, CBD appears to be a functional therapy for ASD.
