The gut’s connection to autism

Autistic children are up to four times as likely as their non-autistic peers to have digestive problems, and several small studies show they may also have atypical microbial communities living in their guts. But whether those flora contribute to their autism traits remains unclear.

its cause all we eat are chicken nuggets

[angelicaterry]

the conclusion is more research is needed

[verzeda]

Basically "We dont know, you figure it out, life is going to be hard for you and you're on your own in this regard"

Why is it they always talk about autistic children? When we turn 18 and become adults we still have autism i can confirm you.

This video sounds like me trying to write 15 pages of nothing for my college essays

I suspect autonomic dysfunction plays a part in autism which also can give some people digestive issues, I don't personally have the latter yet my brain definitely has a few neurodivergant traits, it's tricky to untangle these kinds of things chicken or the egg, digestive issue --> autism or vice versa

Correlation does not equal causation. There are plenty of non austic people who have a limited diet, just wondering if these factors have been included in the research 🤔.

Antibiotics gave me horrendous depression and anxiety and pain

The title of the video is just to call attention. The correct should be: we don't know the gut's connection to autism.

Just buried my nephew 22yrs old on spectrum cause of bowel block Oct 25 th 2023 broken

I want those microbes that would make me a math genius.

Glad I read the comments before wasting my time watching this.

It has to be linked with the X chromosome.
My mother has it and her mother had it.

Why?

[elisabethklinge]

This is deeply flawed. I was not a picky eater as a child. Developed IBS as a teen. Have weird reactions to things (magnesium constipates me - common in ASD folks btw - good luck finding anything about it). My mom (also on the spectrum) has never had any gut issues in her 75 years. My Dad (ADHD) has gut issues, as did his dad, and his dad (actually died from constipation/impacted bowel). Stop trying to "cure autism" and understand there are traits and co-morbidities and freaking help us!

tapeworms!?!? what the fuck did i just watch?

[sapinballwizard]

How do NTs always manage to find the most sensory triggering music possible for their junk science videos about autism?

[marinamarkovicfijan]

there are so many studies that confirm that autism is developed because gi problems, and functional medicine has solution for our children, but so litle people knows for that because of this and so many others wideos with wrong informations and
