Autoimmune disorders are a group of conditions in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues in the body. These conditions are known to be more common among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than among the general population.

In this podcast episode, we'll explore the relationship between autism and autoimmune disorders. We'll begin by discussing the prevalence of autoimmune disorders in individuals with ASD, including the types of conditions that are most commonly reported.

Overall, this podcast will provide an overview of the relationship between autism and autoimmune disorders, offering valuable insights into this important and often overlooked area of research.

In this podcast episode, we'll explore the fascinating relationship between the gut and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis, and its potential impact on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We'll begin by examining the scientific evidence that supports the existence of this connection and how it works.

We'll then delve into the current research on the gut-brain axis in relation to ASD, discussing studies that have found evidence of altered gut microbiota and gut inflammation in individuals with ASD. We'll also explore the potential implications of these findings, including how they may relate to the behavioral and cognitive symptoms of ASD.

Overall, this podcast will provide a comprehensive overview of the gut-brain axis and its potential impact on autism, offering valuable insights into this fascinating and rapidly evolving field of research.
