Early Treatment of Language Impairment in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder with Leucovorin Calcium
Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has an enormous impact on individuals, families and society, yet there is no FDA approved treatment that addresses underlying ASD pathophysiology and/or core deficits. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that leucovorin, a form of folate (vit B9) that bypasses physiological blocks in folate metabolism found in ASD, can significantly improve verbal communication as well as other symptoms associated with ASD.
