UF Researchers Connect Childhood Microbiome With Autism/ADHD Development

April is autism awareness month and a new study out of the University of Florida sheds more light into how children may develop autism and ADHD. Dr. Angelica Ahrens says the microbiome features plus exposure to smoking and ear infections may also play a role. Babies who have more ear infections seem to develop these conditions more often and doctors now believe it's due to the antibiotics used to treat them. UF researchers studied over 16-thousand children with data collected over twenty years.
