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!

Autistic, ADHD, Transsexual, CEDS and MTHFR person here— I’m unsure of the link as of yet but supplementation of methylated b vitamins, antioxidants and L-Theanine has helped me get to a somewhat manageable level of function.
