Probiotics in autism spectrum disorders: a systematic review of clinical studies and future directions - p329–343

It is hypothesized that gut dysbiosis, a typical feature of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), could be involved in the origin of this neurodevelopmental disorder. Therefore, the use of probiotics to restore gastrointestinal (GI) equilibrium might be a promising therapeutic strategy due to its capacity to balance the gut-brain axis and behavioral responses.
