Wow, thats kind of mind blowing. If the cause has been as simple as fungus this entire time. Looking forward to seeing more research on this.

It's likely that there are many causes of autism. For example, there have been successful results of giving stool transplants to children with resolution of symptoms.

ASD is a set of symptoms. There’s likely many causes. If it were commonly caused by infections of the gut people would have noticed more prevalently as anti fungal and antibiotic treatments aren’t uncommon.

Not if you're missing microorganisms. In fact, antibiotics may damage your gut microbiota even further.
The above is just playing with an hypothesis, but there is evidence (unrelated to this case or autism) that gut microbiota is related to psychiatric/personality/mental disorders and stool transplants may help in those cases.
