There’s some research on sudden onset autism being treated with antifungals; so at least sometimes a sudden change may be the result of something very specific in the gut.

There is not reasonable evidence supporting the idea that autism can be treated with antifungals.

Case reports are unreliable due to placebo effect.

The antifungal myth has been tested by too many well-meaning parents with no results.
