Many kids with autism have low folate levels in their brains, a condition called Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD). Here’s a quick guide to symptoms, testing, and treatment options: Symptoms of CFD: • Irritability or anxiety • Poor sleep • Tics or seizures (including absence seizures) • Gross motor problems or poor coordination • Developmental delays • Vision issues • Depression • Regression, especially during puberty Testing for CFD: • Folate Receptor Autoantibodies (FRAA) Test: Identifies autoa

Here’s what research shows: ⚡ 71% of autistic kids have folate receptor autoantibodies (FRAAs) — these block folate from entering the br
