Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental disease where gastrointestinal disturbance is commonly reported. Here we review the evidence suggesting that gut microbota my play a role in this disease and summarize comparative studies we found in international literature on the topic. Discussion of results, methodology of the data collection, bias of selection and behavioral interferences lead to the conclusion that changes in the gut microbiota is a significant piece of autism spectrum disorder but further studies are needed to understand this pathogenetic role.
