"‘Betrayed’: Families are dealing with dashed hopes after pivot on autism treatment"

"Joyce says 5-year-old Jose Morales-Ortiz started taking leucovorin last year. The child was nonverbal before treatment, he said, but slowly improved. Joyce attributes that to the drug and said Jose can now say eight words."

I would attribute this more to development than a drug. A lot of autistic kids learned to speak late in years. Also, early intervention can help a child speak sooner as well.
