The ICare4Autism 2019 International Conference "Cannabinoids, Medical Cannabis, and Autism" is an opportunity to connect with community of professionals.

NEW YORK, NYC, UNITED STATES, November 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Meet the Scholars, Therapists and Parents Looking for New Ways to approach Autism.

On December 17, 2019, ICare4Autism will host an International Conference at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Titled “Cannabinoids, Medical Cannabis, Neurodiversity and Autism,” the event will feature insights from a diverse array of experts in science, education, autism, and medical research.

The conference will focus on the topic of the cannabis extract Cannabinoid (CBD), and therapeutic usefulness as a treatment for autism. Studies, including one conducted this year by researchers at Israel’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center, have indicated that medical marijuana extract may alleviate autism symptoms in children. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it does not produce the “high” of marijuana, which is caused by the chemical tetrahydrocannabidinol (THC).

In addition to providing insights into CBD and autism, the conference will feature discussions on neurodiversity (i.e., the view of conditions like autism as differences, rather than disorders).

Our goal is to create a collaborative forum on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) that will increase awareness, knowledge of medical & educational research findings, evidence-based clinical best-practices, inform policymakers, and empower people with ASDs and their family members.
