When your child is diagnosed with autism, you may hear a lot about behavior therapy, speech therapy, and IEPs. But what if there are underlying medical issues making everything harder—speech delays, poor sleep, tantrums, picky eating—and they’re being missed?
In this episode of the Turn Autism Around podcast, I sat down with Dr. Richard Frye, a Harvard-trained pediatric neurologist and autism researcher, to discuss a powerful—but often overlooked—tool in helping kids with autism: folinic acid (also called leucovorin).
We talked about:
Why functional medicine is different from traditional medicine
What leucovorin is and how it helps some children
What to ask your pediatrician
How to know if your child might benefit from leucovorin based on the research
Let’s break it all down.
