Fascinating article.

Our story...

My son is HF Aspergers/Autism - doesn't really fit either perfectly. Does well

in school, but has always had significant problems with reading comprehension.

He could read a book, but would fail the test.

After starting leucovorin for autoantibodies to folate, his binocular vision

problems resolved, but he still had problems with reading comprehension. After

much immune testing which found abnormalities (he was sick all the time), but

not off enough to qualify for IVIG or subcutaneous IG, I started him on oral IG.

Within months, he was reading grade level books (7th) and PASSING tests in the

90-100 range!! I asked him what was different, and he said that before it was

just words on a page, and now, he sees pictures when he reads! He passed his end

of the year language arts test with a 95! His organizational skills are also

much improved and he has fewer colds. I think the combo of leucovorin and IG

support has made a difference.
