A recent study from USC/UCLA found that autistic children often have fewer beneficial gut metabolites, which can affect brain activity related to emotional processing and social skills. Imbalances in the gut can also reduce important substances like SCFAs, folate, and B12, potentially leading to neuroinflammation and impacting serotonin levels.
As a parent, monitoring your child's GI symptoms and tracking them alongside behaviors is a great first step. Dietary changes, like adding tryptophan-rich foods, or pre/probiotics might help. Some are also exploring fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) under medical supervision. You can find more information at the Autism Research Institute.
