Methods: An extensive literature was conducted using PubMed Scopus. The focus human studies full-text availability, utilizing search terms related to ASD, health, disorders. research evaluated for methodological quality its relevance connections Results: Individuals face unique health challenges, including injuries from increased which complicate hygiene care. Selective eating can lead nutritional deficiencies worsen issues. Dysbiosis gut marked altered levels acetate, propionate, butyrate, interferes gut-brain oral-brain connections, contributing behavioral neurological symptoms. Treatment options such as probiotics, fecal microbiota transfer, integration therapies potentially alleviate symptoms improve life. Conclusions: suggests bidirectional influence through neuroinflammatory mechanisms metabolic disturbances. Proactive strategies focusing dental may help reduce enhance overall management underscoring need further into microbiota–host interactions their therapeutic potential.
