It could help those that have the type of autism that also has high inflammation in the brain. But a side effect is possible diabetes (which I have seen without a family history.)
One way to tell if somebody with autism has the brain inflammation is if a lot of the meltdowns and behavioral issues and such calm down during a fever. During a fever the brain is flooded with anti-inflammation something that goes away when the fever goes away. I don't have linx handy but I'm sure you could look it up
