Autonomic dysfunction is commonly present in ASD with considerable heterogeneity which differentiated them to distinct psychomotor subgroups;

Autonomic nerve system and the gut microbiome interact with on another in the phenotypic presentation and pathogenesis of autism via gut brain axis;

Autonomic index and microbiome profile have predictive capability in ASD diagnosis and subgrouping;

Interventions addressing autonomic dysfunctions demonstrated efficacy in ASD treatment which warrant further studies.
