The study shows a general gut profile that is consistently common among people with autism (ADS). For example, microbiologist Rob Knight from the University of California San Diego and his team found that gastrointestinal problems are a consistent indicator of autistic people.
According to the Science Alert report, researchers found 15 datasets including diet, metabolism, immune cells, and gene expression that point toward ADS. The authors found autism associated with particular gut microbes which matched those identified by a recent long-term study on fecal transplants among 18 children with ASD.
