A 2012 clinical trial involving 44 children with autism and FROne of the most striking benefits has been in nonverbal children who, after treatment, started speaking. -There isn’t a single pill to cure autism, but leucovorin has helped many children,” Dr. Frye told The Post, highlighting the drug’s potential role in both treatment and prevention. Over the past 13 years, Dr. Richard Frye, a pediatric neurologist from Arizona, has conducted multiple studies suggesting that leucovorin could help children with autism make significant developmental progress. A 2012 clinical trial involving 44 children with autism and FRu2c6x85 autoantibodies found that one-third of those given leucovorin showed substantial language improvements. While leucovorin is primarily used in cancer treatment, its potential application in autism therapy presents a new avenue for managing this complex condition. One of the most striking benefits has been in nonverbal children who, after treatment, started speaking.
