The FDA said it was approving leucovorin, a drug used to treat the toxic effects of chemotherapy, as a therapy for some people with autism. The active ingredient is a modified version of vitamin B9, also known as folate. Officials claimed it could help stem what they called an “epidemic” of autism.
