LEUCOVORIN - What is leucovorin, the drug the FDA approved to treat autism ...Leucovorin (folinic acid) may improve certain autism symptoms, particularly in children with underlying folate pathway abnormalities like cerebral folate deficiency (CFD), but evidence is still limited and more research is needed. Studies suggest it can improve verbal communication, social interaction, and behavioral symptoms, especially for children who test positive for folate receptor autoantibodies. However, it is not a “miracle cure” and should only be used under a doctor’s supervision due to potential side effects and the need for proper diagnosis and dosing. #Autism #autistic #children #asd #parents #treatments #folinicacid
