This week, special correspondent Mia Kotikovski reviews the question “is autism caused by the microbiome or does the microbiome cause autism, or neither?” Scientists have shown differences in the gut microbiome in people with autism, but is there a link? Or is the link through the diet, which is different in most people with autism. Mia reviews the evidence and talks about food sensitivity, the microbiome and autism.
