Folinic acid, also known as leucovorin, offers therapeutic benefits for cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It bypasses folate receptor alpha (FRα) dysfunction, often caused by autoantibodies, to restore CSF folate levels. Studies show its ability to improve communication, social interaction, and motor symptoms in ASD patients. Placebo-controlled trials demonstrate leucovorin’s efficacy, with improvements in core ASD symptoms, irritability, and epilepsy in most cases. Side effects like agitation and headache are mild, making it a safe, effective treatment.
