5 mg is the standard dose that we usually prescribe in India, and I have not yet heard about autism related to higher folic acid doses.
Next Steps
Ask your gynecologist if you have more queries regarding dose
Health Tips
continue folic acid 5 mg once a day.

There's no evidence linking a higher folic acid dose to autism in babies. A 5mg dose is often prescribed for specific reasons like weight, family history, or other risk factors your doctor may have noted.
Next Steps
Please continue the 5mg dose your doctor prescribed rather than switching it yourself, and ask them directly why this dose was chosen if you'd like to understand it better.
