@S.A.
Thanks for sharing your story. You have indeed done/made a great job.
I was hesitating about my post as the correlation between CFS and ASD´d might cause sadness.
Though, I think it is worth thinking of this, as it is both possible to treat to some extent, and it also seem to be possible to prevent autism by taking folate as shown is this big study.

So, if diagnosed with ME/CFS or B12/folate deficiency, I think it is a good idea to let children be gene tested if possible.
If they are lucky, they didn´t inherit "bad genes" from the other parent, and if (these polymorphisms are quite common in a normal population) supplementation could probably prevent sickness. Neural tube defects are told to be less common on Sicily , though the MTHFR mutation is more frequent . Folate rich food has been proposed as the key. If methylation works and the glutathione is produced as expected, and the binding with glutathione also works, things should probably be O.K. More research is needed - as most studies are ended...
