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

💊 Heard about Folinic Acid (Leucovorin), FRAT testing, or cerebral folate deficiency— but still feel stuck? In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel explains what many families might be missing: ➡️ Why these tests and treatments only go so far if the nervous system is still dysregulated ➡️ How the brain-gut connection truly works from the top down ➡️ And how restoring neurological regulation can unlock progress in speech, behavior, sleep, and feeding When you support the nervous system first, everything

Cerebral folate deficiency: why it can look like autism and PANS/PANDAS In tomorrow’s episode with child neurologist Dr. Richard Frye, we discuss how brain-level folate issues can show up as sudden regression, new movement patterns (tics/dystonia), epilepsy, and other neurologic signs—overlapping with what we see in autism and PANS/PANDAS. If you’ve noticed abrupt changes or complex movement symptoms, this lens may help you ask sharper questions and consider next steps with your care team. New p

Let’s talk about Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD) something MANY speech-delayed and autistic kids struggle with, and most parents have never even heard of. CFD happens when the brain isn’t getting enough folate, even if the child eats well or takes a multivitamin. Why? Because antibodies or inflammation block folate from crossing the blood–brain barrier. And when the brain is low in folate, you see things like: ▪️ Speech delays ▪️ Motor planning issues ▪️ Apraxia ▪️ Low tone ▪️ Brain fog ▪️ Beha

Folate can be “normal” in blood—and low in the brain. Kids with cerebral folate deficiency may have folate receptor antibodies that block transport into the brain. Result: normal serum, low CSF, and symptoms tied to impaired neurotransmitter production. In today’s episode, pediatric neurologist Dr. John Gaitanis breaks down: How folate actually gets into the brain (and why transport matters) Why some kids regress or develop tics/OCD despite “normal” labs Practical steps families and clinicians c
