Kids’ microbial communities may have more to do with dietary preferences than autism diagnoses.
“Children on the autism spectrum often prefer to eat a narrow selection of foods, and then that affects the microbiome,” Yap says. “So in other words, it’s a case of mind over microbes rather than the other way around.
The researchers found no significant differences in the overall composition of the microbiomes of children with and without autism diagnoses. The team also didn’t find any connection between the microbiome and sleep problems . They did, however, observe that children with more watery stools had microbiomes that were more limited in diversity. Children who ate fewer different kinds of foods also had less diverse microbiomes.
