I am reading through the info sent along with Mike's test results.

It appears that among others, Mike has "the biggie" mutation, a mutation that increases the production of the CBS enzyme. This one is called the CBS C699T mutation. That is, gene number 699 should have been a C and is actually a T. Someone has mapped this gene to CBS overproduction.

Here is what Amy Yasko says in her book Genetic Bypass, page. 52:
"Thus far the genetics indicate that a majority of older autistic children carry the CBS C699T mutation. Younger chlidren are presenting with autism carrying only mutations in MTR, MS_MTRR and MTHFR (Mike has those too). The CBS C699T mutations are what I would call the 'trump card.' The CBS C699T mutations tend to override any other mutations as they can deplete all of the intermediates of the methionine pathway."

So, why are the younger children autistic with lesser mutations?
"At one time it may have been necessary to have mutations like the CBS C699T that have a significant impact on the entire methylation pathway in order for autism to occur. Today, it appears that the bar has been lowered, and the 'lesser' mutations are sufficient to cause autism. I believe this shift is due in part to the increase in heavy metal exposure from vaccines and the environment as well as the more intensive and accelerated vaccination program."

As far as treatment goes, we have to use supplements to address this CBS mutation first, before we can address any of the others. That's because of its function; it basically causes all the good things to leak away from the methylation pathway, and make lots of ammonia instead. That's not good.

We are still in treatment phase Step One. I had added all the supplemnts I bought gradually, with the RNA drops last. We started those on Thursday. By Saturday, Mike's behavior was very off-kilter. So I stopped giving him the RNA drops for now. I am guessing that the CBS up-regulation is causing the effect of the RNAs to be bad rather than good.
