The Gut-Brain Axis in Autism, Canadian physician and father John Michael Maxwell, M.D., explores the emerging science connecting gut dysbiosis, microbial metabolites, intestinal-barrier function, immune signaling, oxidative stress, nutrition, sleep, communication, and daily family life. This book presents a dysbiosis-centered causal-plausibility framework, not a universal treatment claim. It distinguishes established autism supports from promising, investigational, and speculative biomedical approaches, while urging families and clinicians to keep communication, developmental support, sleep, comfort, nutrition, and careful medical evaluation at the center of care. Written for parents, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers, this exploratory review combines scientific synthesis, practical tools, de-identified case context, and a father's perspective on hope without false certainty
