Summary

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, behavior, sensory processing, and daily functioning. Recent research suggests that the gut microbiome, the community of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract, may influence brain development and function through the gut-brain and gut-motor axes. Alterations in gut microbiome characteristics have been reported in children with ASD and may be associated with differences in neurodevelopmental outcomes.

This observational study aims to investigate the association between gut microbiome characteristics and neurodevelopmental functioning in children with ASD. The study will evaluate multiple domains of functioning, including motor performance, sensory processing, behavior, cognition, sleep, and participation in daily activities. Gut microbiome characteristics will be assessed using stool sample analysis, and neurodevelopmental outcomes will be measured using standardized assessments and validated questionnaires.

The findings of this study may improve understanding of the relationship between the gut microbiome and neurodevelopmental functioning in children with ASD and provide insights into the role of the gut-motor axis in shaping functional outcomes. This knowledge may support future research and contribute to the development of more personalized approaches to assessment and rehabilitation in ASD.
