"I think that this entire thing has been a bit misleading,"
"an exciting therapy that may benefit large numbers of children who have suffered from autism,"
"gives hope to the many parents with autistic children,"

President Trump and high-level health officials promoted leucovorin (folinic acid) as a treatment for autism and suggested links between Tylenol and autism. The administration issued a new label for leucovorin to treat cerebral folate deficiency (CFD). CFD is a rare brain condition whose connection to autism remains unclear, and only a minority of autistic people have CFD. Many scientists and medical organizations expressed skepticism about promoting leucovorin as a general autism therapy. Parents reacted with mixed emotions: some hopeful, others alarmed that the message could be misleading or imply parental responsibility. Genetic factors are identified as the leading, best-understood contributor to autism.
