  Pervasive developmental disorders, or autism spectrum disorders, are multifaceted and have a high rate of occurrence. Additionally, the origin of Autism appears to be multidimensional and largely unknown. Thus, it would appear novel approaches and concepts are needed in this area of scientific endeavor. In this regard, microbial cells harbored within the human gut and elsewhere are being studied to understand their multi-functional properties and their ability to affect physiological activities in their “host” organism. The communities of approximately 10 trillion microbial cells that live within the gut are involved in functions such as metabolism, nutrition and immune regulation. We and others surmise this microbiota can contribute to disruption of normal activities, causing harmful pathologies such as gastrointestinal complications, obesity, and diabetes and autism. The..
