A quick note of transparency: the website creator is not actually a website creator 😅 (but very committed and learning fast). As a result, there may be a few bumps along the way while we work out the kinks and make final adjustments.

as a 'treatment' is preliminary at best, with only small trials showing modest results in some children. Don't let fear-mongering replace evidence-based medicine. education.virginia.edu/documents/st... theunbiasedscipod.substack.com/.../saturday... ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/.../s12940-0...

The most rigorous studies show NO causal link when genetics are properly controlled. Autism is complex with 100+ genes involved, not a single-cause condition. Special shoutout to the brilliant Dr. Kevin Klatt for assessing the details on folinic acid (leucovorin) - the evidence for it

A long-term study found that autistic children are far more likely to experience persistent gastrointestinal issues than their peers. These symptoms often co-occur, persist across childhood, and strongly relate to challenges with sleep, communication, behavior, and sensory processing.

Scientists found that an overactive brain region can cause autism-like behaviors [in mice]. Calming this activity with certain drugs reversed the symptoms, showing a possible new treatment link between autism and epilepsy.

The awful impact of RFK Jr.’s actions won’t be fully revealed for years. With prevention of chronic disease, it usually takes a number of years before we see an effect. It was at least a decade after the HPV vaccine was released before we could measure the incredible reduction in cervical cancer.
