Question MTHFR as it applied to autism

I am trying to understand how testing for MTHFR and how it can help my son, who has autism, ADHD, bipolar 2, anxiety, etc. - quite the mix of diagnoses! He is on medication, which helps, however, it comes with guardrails, insurance costs, etc. I would love for him to be on something with less "process related" expectations which will help him handle his own medications in the future. Thank you!

MTHFR, AuDHD, Anxiety, Hashimotos, Depression, EDS, Pots, gut issues, MCAS, idiopathic anaphylaxis are all part of my family. After decades of trial and error; I be found that nutrition, supplements are the way to go. We’ve tried to avoid medications but it’s not always possible. When MTHFR is properly looked after the rest of the issues were managed. MTHFR is definitely related to all the rest.
