There is a section in the course that covers Leucovorin (Folinic acid) as an "off-label" intervention for autism symptoms more specifically speech. However based on observation in treating patients in my own practice I've seen it improve social reciprocity as well. I recently came across a study done in China recently that echos this finding. I wanted to include it here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12073535/ Those who have used Folinic acid or leucovorin with their child have you noticed this as well?

I had first noticed my son wasn’t meeting his milestones in the “typical” way that most kids I had worked with as a nanny in the past had.. he would have terrible meltdowns when he would get overstimulated and would line up his toys instead of play with them. He got his autism diagnosis right around 3 years old. I researched everything I could and started him on CBD every day which made significant improvement in his behavior and speech! This is why I’m so passionate about holistic healing and intervention because I’ve seen how it changed my son’s life and other patients I have treated with autism. Have you tried any holistic interventions you felt were helpful for your children?
