Absolute Autism Therapy Educates New Mexico Families About Leucovorin’s Potential Role in Autism Support
United States, 8th Nov 2025 — Absolute Autism Therapy, a leading provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for children with autism in Albuquerque, San Juan County, and Doña Ana County, has launched a new community education initiative to help families understand the growing research around Leucovorin (Folinic Acid) and its possible benefits for neurodevelopmental health.
Leucovorin, a medically approved form of folate, has been traditionally used in cancer treatment and certain metabolic conditions. Recently, researchers have been studying its role in addressing cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) — a condition linked to neurological symptoms and developmental delays that may overlap with features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Families and caregivers can watch an educational overview video about Leucovorin’s potential role in autism support (Video here) to better understand current research findings and safe approaches to discussing these topics with healthcare professionals.
“Families in New Mexico deserve reliable information about emerging research — especially when it involves treatments being discussed for autism,” said [Spokesperson Elysa Cantu], Clinical Director of Absolute Autism Therapy. “While Leucovorin is not a cure for autism, early studies suggest it may benefit some children with underlying folate pathway differences. Our goal is to educate, not prescribe, so families can have informed discussions with their healthcare providers.”
Understanding Leucovorin and Its Use
Leucovorin (also known as folinic acid) is a reduced form of folate that helps bypass certain metabolic barriers to folate absorption. Medical professionals have used it for decades to reduce the side effects of specific cancer drugs like methotrexate and to manage some forms of anemia.
More recently, clinical studies and FDA-monitored research have explored Leucovorin’s impact on children with cerebral folate deficiency and folate receptor autoantibodies (FRAAs) — biological markers sometimes present in subsets of children with ASD. While promising, experts emphasize that more peer-reviewed research is needed before any formal treatment recommendations can be made. [Here is an article for more information.]
Expanding Autism Awareness Across New Mexico

The new Leucovorin awareness initiative includes:
• Free online and in-person workshops explaining current scientific findings
• Partnerships with local pediatricians and neurologists to provide accurate resources
• Parent education sessions on balancing behavioral and medical care safely
• Evidence-based content to dispel misinformation and promote responsible decision-making
