A major target of such poor development is the gut and thus any abnormality in gut nerve development (the gut contains more neurones than the spinal cord) would have a significant effect not only on gut functions and probably gut microbiome, but also on information flowing back to the brain that may cause interference in normal brain functions, perhaps precipitating ASD - like behaviour in a developmentally challenged brain.
