Some recent work has identified bacteria that are associated with Autism. For a summary of method, see this post. The following are the list of bacteria seen with Ombre/Thryve samples that are annotated with Autism. There are not sufficient samples yet for specific autism characteristics – so please check your uploaded samples and update the symptoms.
Note the list is Ombre/Thryve specific and cannot be applied to other microbiome reports. There is also Bacteria to Hand-Pick for Autism with Biomesight samples
These are bacteria that you want to reduce (with one caveat — the suggestions algorithm requires the percentile to be 50%ile or more). How to hand pick them? See below the list.
Note: you may only have a few of these. They are shown in the same sequence as seen on Microbiome Tree. The LAST item is what was found to be statistically significant.

Hi Ken,
Thank you for you work and interest in autism. At the end of your video, you say that children with autism shouldn’t have bifidobacterium probiotics, but my son actually has very low bifido bacterium. I am using prebiotics to increase their count. Is this a safer option in your experience? TIA
First question is always, which lab was used and what do you mean by low. See the summary page for bifidobacterium. In particular, look at the chart here (Change to Percentage).
I am a statistician and not a medical professional, so I cannot answer the “safer” option. The first link above lists what may help or inhibit.
