Abstract :Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition marked by restricted and repetitive behaviors, as well as challenges in social communication and engagement. The etiology of ASD is influenced by intricate interactions between genetic and environmental variables. The influence of gut microbiota on ASD and the possible benefits of probiotic supplements have attracted growing attention in recent years. The gut-brain axis is crucial in understanding the impact of gut microbiota on cognitive function. The gut microbiota comprises numerous elements that affect individual health and significantly impact the immune system, metabolism, and neurotransmitter synthesis. Probiotics may enhance cognitive performance and behavioral symptoms by increasing gut health. Research indicates that probiotic administration mitigates gastrointestinal symptoms and diminishes behavioral issues in individuals with ASD. Probiotics have the potential to reduce inflammation by supporting the production of neurotransmitters such as GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. Probiotics may enhance cognitive performance in persons with ASD by fortifying the intestinal barrier and diminishing intestinal inflammation. The impact of probiotics on cognitive function remains constrained, and the existing findings are preliminary. Consequently, extensive, longitudinal research are required to acquire more conclusive and thorough data in this area. Examining the possible advantages of probiotics in enhancing the quality of life for patients with ASD is essential for formulating treatment methods. The utilization of probiotics is emerging as a potential approach for addressing cognitive and behavioral problems.
