This is a clinical trial of Microbiota Transplant Therapy (MTT) for adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who have gastrointestinal problems. Previous research has shown that individuals with ASD have a low diversity of gut bacteria, and low diversity is generally associated with poor gastrointestinal (GI) health. We previously found that MTT therapy for children with ASD and GI symptoms was helpful in reducing their GI symptoms, reducing their ASD symptoms, and increasing their diversity of gut bacteria. This clinical trial will investigate the hypothesis that MTT therapy will be helpful for adults with ASD who have GI symptoms.

Change in Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) from baseline to 10 weeks
An evaluation by a trained evaluator of autism symptoms. The range is 15-60, and scores in the range of 27-30 or higher are indicative of autism.
baseline; month 2.5, 4.5, 10.5, 16.5, 22.5
Change in Daily Stool Log (DSL) from baseline to 10 weeks
baseline for 2 weeks; daily for 18 weeks, and 2 weeks at month 10, 16, 22
Change in Social Responsiveness Scale - 2 from baseline to 10 weeks of treatment
baseline; weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18; months 10.5, 16.5, 22.5

Group A receives treatment in Part 1 and Part 2
Group B receives no treatment in Part 1, but does receive treatment in Part 2
Oral vancomycin is administered to reduce pathogenic bacteria.
MoviPrep is given at the end of vancomycin therapy to remove the vancomycin and remaining bacteria prior to administering Full-Spectrum Microbiota
