Doesn't CBD do that for everyone though? Isn't that why people take cannabis in the first place? So basically they are just making autistic people more relaxed
Yes, CBD is said to have analgesic properties, and my experience seems to back that up, so I suppose it would relax most people. I've not noticed it doing much else. Cannabis would contain a lot more THC, which is psychoactive, and I suppose people use it for both the relaxing effect and the "high."
So yes, AFAIK CBD is probably just a mild pain killer and a relaxant. But maybe it eases ASD sensory issues better than analgesics from the drug firms. For some reason I'd rather take CBD than say ibuprofen. I never saw a pharmaceutical analgesic product yet that didn't have known ill effects. Most of them are bad for the stomach.
