Autism spectrum disorder isn’t a disease like COVID with a known cause. There are likely many things that lead to symptoms consistent with ASD. According to the link the mold infection has biomarkers, and presumably it’s possible that some people who have this infection and ASD can be treated for the infection and might see improvement. However I don’t think the article implies in any way that ASD is caused by mold infections, just that some with ASD AND the mold infection might be treated for ASD when the mold infection is treated.

What I find interesting if other cases are found is the incredible influence our intestines have on our personality and mental processes.

When my son was diagnosed with autism a quarter century or so ago, we would see claims like this popping up now and again. At first we would get excited, but over time we learned to ignore them. Desperate parents make easy targets for grifters and quacks so you have to expect this kind of thing. The worst part is when well-meaning family and friends keep excitedly sending you articles or giving advising you on these exciting new treatments.

My special needs brother predates autism. I was always annoyed with the question 'what's wrong with your brother' as if slapping a label on him would fix things. And big picture there isn't anything wrong with him other than a few deep deficits which no ones going to be able to undo.

My brother has a few friends with similar deficits, just different ones. That makes me dubious of the idea of autism as a particular 'disease'. In fact I find the disease model insulting.
