Resumo

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) define um grupo de distúrbios do desenvolvimento neurológico, geralmente diagnosticado na primeira infância. Durante as duas últimas décadas foi detectado um aumento crescente da prevalência do TEA. Centenas de estudos foram realizados, no entanto, ainda não foi esclarecido por que a incidência de autismo aumentou rapidamente durante os anos 90 e continua aumentando nos anos 2000. Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico, nas bases de dados: PUBMED, LILACS e SCIELO, do período entre 2015 a 2020. Foram utilizadas os descritores: “Folic Acid” and “Autism Spectrum Disorder”. Inicialmente foram encontrados 46 artigos. Destes, apenas 34 estavam de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e abordavam aspectos relacionados à suplementação de ácido fólico durante o período periconcepcional e sua influência para o desenvolvimento de TEA. Sobre o TEA e a administração de altas doses de ácido fólico durante o período periconcepcional, conclui-se que são necessárias pesquisas adicionais com desenhos de estudos adequadamente padronizados e com metodologia adequada antes que quaisquer conclusões definitivas possam ser tomadas. Os resultados de estudos clínicos recentes, apesar de poucos e inconclusivos, levantam questões sobre dosagens adequadas ou uso mais direcionado do ácido fólico que necessitam ser investigadas.
