Ezra Arkancide COMMS?

 

At first, Joann Fouquette's son,Ezra,was hitting all the milestones. It's what every new mom hopes for: a happy, healthy baby.

 

But around17months, things started to change. He stopped speaking. He started covering his ears and hitting his head on the floor like something was bothering him.

 

Fouquette remembers her mom telling her, "I think we need to get him tested. There's something definitely going on there."

 

Five months later, in 2012, Ezra was diagnosed withautismspectrum disorderโ€ฆ

 

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 1 in44children in the United States, according to theCDC.

 

But autism can also lead to more troubling issues like severe disruptive behavior andself-harm.[Arkancide Ezra?] โ€ฆ

 

There are two FDA-approved antipsychotic medications, used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, that are approved to treat children with autism, but only if they showsevere aggressionorself-injury.โ€ฆ

 

"I didn't want to try any of those just because there were so many side effects," she said. "But, at one point, I had a lot of bruises on me becausehe was getting more violent."โ€ฆ

 

"He was9[33?] then," she said. "What am I gonna do in the future as he continues to grow if I'm already having a hard time with his aggression now?"โ€ฆ

 

So she enrolled Ezra in the clinical trial. ['clinical trial'?]

 

Across the country inNew York,a similar trial, involving children and adolescents with autism and the cannabinoid cannabidivarin (CBDV), is also underway at Montefiore Health System.

 

While both studies are still ongoing andthe blinds have not been broken,[?] early feedback has been positive.

 

InCalifornia,similar reports have come in from parents.

 

It's not clear what role the treatment may have played in Ezra's progress. The study hasn't been published, and it wasn't looking at whether cannabis or CBD could be neuroregenerative to the brain. More research is needed in this area.

 

"Some of the kids who've shown an effect โ€ฆ show it for several weeks after the study drug is taken away. And some seem to maintain some improvement," Trauner said. "But I don't know why that would be."

 

Regardless of why it happened for Ezra, who is now11,Fouquette is grateful.
