‘On September 22, 2025, the White House held a press conference on leucovorin (folinic acid) and its potential applications for autism. However, while a media frenzy followed, a lot of details were missing in the news about the specifics and nuances of this treatment method.
‘For instance, did you know that for leucovorin to be effective, your child must follow a special diet?
‘Also, leucovorin is a treatment specifically for cerebral folate deficiency, which affects 40% of children with autism.
‘In this special Q&A panel featuring the former Director of Medical Education for AutismOne, an award-winning filmmaker, and a mom who successfully used leucovorin to help her son with level 3 autism, learn about what it takes to really help a child with autism to thrive and learn more about leucovorin and whether it might be helpful for your loved one on the autism spectrum.
‘The event will be virtual, so you can join from the comfort of your own home. Whether you came to our last event or wish you had, you will not want to miss this autism expert Q&A panel!
