It is primarily used to help diagnose conditions related to cerebral folate deficiency syndrome and to guide targeted treatment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text single_style=&#8221;&#8221;]A positive FRAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> result suggests these autoantibodies are present. This indicates that folate (vitamin B9) is likely not being transported effectively across the blood-brain barrier into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can lead to cognitive delays and neurological issues. As a result, a child with autism may also experience difficulties with traditional behavioral therapies.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text single_style=&#8221;&#8221;]FRAT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> can aid in understanding a biological reason behind a child\u2019s struggle for progress. Once cerebral folate deficiency is established, clinicians can restore the brain\u2019s folate supply with targeted treatments. This can augment the child&#8217;s therapeutic readiness to ensure maximal benefit from behavioral and educational interventions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;referance-sec&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;References&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text single_style=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;referance-url&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ol class=\"mr-left-ol-40-list mr-left-ul-40\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10491411\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10491411\/ <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/autism\/hcp\/diagnosis\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/autism\/hcp\/diagnosis\/index.html <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/lab-tests\/autism-spectrum-disorder-asd-screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/lab-tests\/autism-spectrum-disorder-asd-screening\/ <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Curious to know if your child has these autoantibodies?&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text single_style=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Here\u2019s what you can do:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;7471,7468,7469,7544&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_no&#8221; slides_per_view=&#8221;2&#8243; hide_prev_next_buttons=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;faq-slide-u&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;more-faq-sec-con&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;More Answer For You&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text single_style=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;more-questios-sec&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/autism.fratnow.com\/blog\/how-to-support-a-child-with-autism-in-the-classroom\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> How to Support a Child with Autism in the Classroom?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/autism.fratnow.com\/blog\/why-is-autism-more-common-in-males\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> Why is autism more common in males?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/autism.fratnow.com\/blog\/what-is-profound-autism\/\">What is profound autism?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/autism.fratnow.com\/blog\/can-people-with-profound-autism-talk\/\">Can People with Profound Autism Talk?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/autism.fratnow.com\/blog\/how-to-explain-autism-to-kids\/\">How to explain autism to kids?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;more-faq-sec-con&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What type of doctor diagnoses autism?
