New evidence hints at the role of gut microbiota in autistic spectrum disorder

“recent neuroscience studies have found that the biological makeup of the gut could contribute to some of the most characteristic symptoms of ASD. More specifically, experiments on mice suggest that the pathway between gut bacteriaand the central nervous system can affect social behaviors.”

In the future, they could inspire new research in this area and contribute to the testing and gradual introduction of treatments for autism”
