Frat Autism FRAT® offered by Religen detects autoantibodies to FRα which may contribute to neurological disorders

Fratnow's FRAT® measures the presence of antibodies that interact (either block or bind) with the activity of the Folate Receptor A (FRA). FRA is responsible for the transport of folate into certain tissues, most notably the brain, placenta and ovary. These antibodies were detected in numerous individuals with disorders like Cerebral Folate Deficiency, Autism Spectrum Disorders, sub-fertility in w

omen, and pregnant women carrying fetuses with neural tube defects (NTD). FRAT® measures these antibodies which is an indication that folate needs to be delivered in different ways to enter the brain. This early detection of the antibodies leads to early intervention for diagnosis of Autism.

A new national initiative aims to strengthen how communities respond when autistic individuals go missing, bringing emergency management, law enforcement, first responders, and community partners together for a more coordinated response.

Autism and social anxiety can often overlap, making social situations feel challenging and overwhelming.

While they share some similarities, they are different conditions and require the right assessment and support. With personalised care, therapy, and appropriate treatment, individuals can develop better coping skills and improve their quality of life.

Understanding is the first step toward better support.

Folate is more than just Vitamin B9.
It plays a vital role in DNA repair, energy production, and mitochondrial health. When folate transport is disrupted, it can impact how our cells produce energy and protect themselves from damage.
A small nutrient with a big role in cellular health.

Mitochondria are much more than the cell’s “powerhouses”!

They constantly fuse, divide, and move within cells to deliver energy where it’s needed most. This dynamic behaviour helps maintain cellular health, especially in energy-demanding cells like neurons.

Blueberries may offer more than just a burst of flavour.
Research suggests they may support attention, memory, mood, brain health and the gut-brain axis through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective pathways.

However, they should be seen as a supportive part of a balanced diet not a replacement for standard care.

Food alone doesn’t cause or cure ADHD. However, a balanced diet and good nutrition may support overall brain health and symptom management for some children. Before making dietary changes, always consult a healthcare professional to ensure your child’s nutritional needs are met.

The mitochondria don’t just “make energy.” They transform the chemical energy in our food into an electrical gradient, then use that gradient to produce ATP, the energy currency that powers nearly every process in the body.

From the food we eat to every breath we take, oxygen, electrons, membranes and ATP work together in one remarkable system that keeps us alive.

Can paracetamol use during pregnancy increase the risk of autism or ADHD in children?

A large Hong Kong–based sibling-matched study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found no increased risk of autism or ADHD after accounting for familial factors such as genetics and shared environment.

The study also found that earlier associations may have been influenced by other factors rather than paracetamol itself.

Always discuss medication use during pregnancy with your doctor before taking it.

Some people with savant syndrome show extraordinary abilities in specific areas like:

Art | Music | Maths | Calendar calculation | Spatial skills

They may also have exceptional memory, language abilities, or knowledge in a particular field.

Every brain has its own unique strengths.
