Description:
Leucovorin (folinic acid) has shown benefit as an adjunctive therapy for autism spectrum disorder, especially in children with language impairment and folate pathway abnormalities. Randomized controlled trials demonstrate that high-dose oral folinic acid (2 mg/kg/day, up to 50 mg/day for 12–24 weeks) improves verbal communication, social reciprocity, and overall autism severity compared with placebo. The greatest improvements are seen in children with folate receptor alpha autoantibodies or specific folate metabolism gene variants.
