I'm seeing this story everywhere 
. According to a recent study, 1 in 54 children in the US has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is a significant increase from 2010 
. The same study also shows that treatment for ASD can be super costly - up to $1 million per year 
.
Meanwhile, leucovorin's potential benefits are still unclear
. The FDA has approved it for treating CFD, but not explicitly for autism 
. I've looked at the stats on leucovorin's side effects, and they're pretty alarming - 30-40% of people experience nausea and vomiting 
.
I checked out some charts on ASD treatment outcomes, and they're not looking great
. Only about 20% of kids with ASD have achieved significant improvements in their symptoms 
. The rest are still dealing with challenges like social skills delays and communication issues 
.
It's interesting that the AAP recommends against routine use of leucovorin for autism, but some families may still be drawn to it due to misinformation
. As Dr. Brumback said, "To have autism is not to be pitied; it's not to be seen as something that a family should be embarrassed about—it's part of life" 
.
Here are some stats on ASD prevalence by age group:
* Under 3 years: 1 in 140
* 4-17 years: 1 in 54
* 18+ years: 1 in 100
And here are the top 5 most common comorbidities with ASD:
1. ADHD (70%)
2. Anxiety disorders (40%)
3. Depression (30%)
4. Sleep problems (25%)
5. Epilepsy (15%)
These numbers and charts are just a reminder that there's still so much we don't know about autism. Let's keep pushing for more research and evidence-based treatments
