Human: I’m the only intelligent being! I’m the crown of creation!

Gut microbes: Haha. Good one. Now dance for us!

LOL I failed to recognise at first that it could also be interpreted as bacteria causing autism. It could also be that because of a characteristic genetic programming, intestine cells produce a compound which specific microorganisms thrive in. In such a case, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone also found such microbial indicators in saliva or on the skin.
