"Opportunistic infections in the gut are a contributing factor for abdominal symptoms. Finegold, et al. found an overgrowth of many Clostridia yeast species in stool samples of autistic children compared to controls. Canadian researcher Derrick MacFabe et al. have shown in a rat model that propionic acid (PPA), a short chain fatty acid, is a neurotoxic byproduct of Clostridia fermentation. Administration of PPA to rats can cause brief, and reversible, autism-like behaviours. It is also elevated in the stool of autistic children. The above researchers maintain that the human microbiome influences behaviour, gene expression, and neurotransmitter function in individuals with autism. Adams J, et al. determined that those on the spectrum have higher levels of bifidobacteria species in the gut and lower levels of lactobacilli. (3) Also they found that there is a strong correlation between autism severity and degrees of gastrointestinal problems. Caregivers who administered probiotics to their children were surveyed and the outcome was a 48% decrease in diarrhea severity, and 52% decrease in constipation severity. Decreases in ASD symptoms were reported by 88% of caregivers. (6) This was after 21 days of treatment with Lactobacillus rhamnosus species."

tldr: autism is caused by imbalance of bacteria in the intestines (microbiota), just eat more yogurt, cheese, kefir, kimchi, etc
