TL;DR: The purpose was to provide an update of the evidence accumulated by reviewing all of the empirical or experimental studies that have been published since 1966 on IDS driving factors and impacts to suggest IDS is part of an interactive loop that may play an important role in infants’ cognitive and social development.

TL;DR: The effects of supplementation with a probiotic mixture (Vivomixx®) in ASD children not only on specific GI symptoms, but also on the core deficits of the disorder, on cognitive and language development, and on brain function and connectivity are determined.

TL;DR: It is stressed that credence should be given to parents' intuition as they recognize, long before diagnosis, the pathological process through the interactive pattern with their child, when studying interactive patterns.

TL;DR: The specificity of motor disturbances identified in autism (postural asymmetry) is consistent with previous findings that implicated cerebellar involvement in the motor symptoms of autism.

TL;DR: This review encompasses the key findings of QEEG application in subjects with ASD, in order to assess the relevance of this approach in characterizing brain function and clustering phenotypes and the use of advanced techniques for the increase of the specificity and of spatial localization.
