India's First Autism Therapy Using Gut Microbiota Launched in Hyderabad

Imagine your tummy and your brain are like best friends who talk to each other all the time.

Scientists found that sometimes, the tiny bugs in our tummy, called the microbiome, can affect how our brain works.

This is important for kids with autism.

A new place in India is now using a special treatment called FMT.

FMT is like giving someone good tummy bugs from a healthy person to help make their tummy bugs healthy again.

The doctors hope this will help kids with autism feel better.

They also want to help moms have healthy pregnancies so babies can be as healthy as possible right from the start.

They are even having free check-ups for kids to see if they need help.
