Autism, Inflammation, and the Gut-Brain Axis
Briefly

Research indicates that inflammation during pregnancy, particularly from infections like measles, can increase the likelihood of autism in offspring. Genetic factors play a significant role, but they only explain part of the risk. Maternal health conditions, such as obesity and diabetes, also contribute to this risk. Additionally, emerging studies highlight the potential benefits of dietary changes and probiotics in improving gut health and mitigating some symptoms associated with autism. The condition varies widely, underscoring the complexity of its causes, as noted by experts in the field.
