Hi everyone,
I saw that Trump recently mentioned Leucovorin for autism. I also read that over 50% of kids with autism may have FRα antibodies that block folate from reaching the brain.

The FRAT® test is a Folate Receptor Autoantibody test that is performed by a single lab, RELIGEN, INC., located at 5110 Campus Drive, Suite 120, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462, USA. To get the test, you need a prescription from a medical professional who can then order the FRAT® kit to be sent to you or a local blood-draw center for sample collection. You or your doctor can then ship the sample to the RELIGEN lab for processing

Benefits of the Test
Early detection and treatment of FRAAs may improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in individuals with ASD.

Not all individuals with ASD have FRAAs.
The presence of FRAAs alone does not guarantee a diagnosis of ASD.
I reached out to the institution, but unfortunately they informed me that they do not conduct FRAT testing.
Thank you so much!
