Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), namely neurodevelopmental disorders encompassing impairments in communication, social interactions and restricted stereotypical behaviors, induces a relatively high morbidity and mortality ratio (1/166) in modern children's life. One of the serious factors accounting for ASDs is the failure of the appropriate neuro-immune interaction. Although a relationship between altered immune responses and ASDs was firstly recognized nearly 40 years ago, only recently has new evidence started to shed light on the complex multifaceted communication between neuro-immune dysfunction and behavior in ASDs. Extensive alterations in immune function have now been described in both children and adults with ASDs, including ongoing inflammation in brain specimens, elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine profiles in the Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) and blood, increased presence of ..
