Brief summary
Analyze, describe, and understand how the human gut microbiome (i.e. bacteriome and mycobiome) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are related.
Interventions
OTHERMicrobiome and Autism Questionnaire
The questionnaire will be administered to collect demographic data (i.e. sex, age, race, and ethnicity) of the volunteers. Additionally, it will ask for the volunteers to identify whether or not they have autism spectrum disorder and what other medical conditions they have and what medications (e.g. prescribed, over the counter, herbal; etc.) that they take.
