excess folic acid during pregnancy is very dangerous????

Moms, I just found out that excess folic acid during pregnancy is very dangerous for the baby. They say it can cause autism???? This is my first time being pregnant and i am really scared of everything that could potentially harm my baby. My doctor prescribed me folic acid vitamins... I’m really scared, it's such a gamble. If I don't take it, I’m afraid of deficiency, and if I take it every day, I’m afraid of excess. But what are the signs of excess folic acid, moms? Does anyone know? I hope we all stay healthy. #seriousquestion

I was prescribed 5mg of folic acid by my gynae from NUH, and honestly, if it's by an experienced professional, I'm OK to take. I've been learning that many times, Google isn't a doctor. I tend to Google for answers and then come up with all kinds of conclusions, only to have doctors tell me that I'm wrong. So if your gynae was the one prescribed the dosage,I'll take it that they know better than Google.
