Interesting video about a french doctor who has successfully treated some autistic children with courses of antibiotics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOno_2m_8LY&feature=youtu.be
Early on in the video, it mentions that Lyme disease bacteria was found to be the problem, but then it doesn't say any more about Lyme disease. Later in the video, the researcher says he doesn't want to talk about the bacteria he has detected. So it's a bit confused, and we need further info. Also, latent infections are mentioned.
It's interesting that the video mentions autism, Lyme disease, latent infections and low energy levels... All things that have been associated with ME in various ways.
Here are some quotes from the video:
"He discovered the culprit of his problems: Lyme Disease due to bacteria transmitted by ticks."
"The researcher devised a novel method which enables him to detect latent infections in blood of young people with autism"
Theory: "Bacteria come from the intestinal mucosa which, when inflammation is present, will seep through the very fragile mucosa into the bloodstream, which in turn, produce toxins which can reach the brain."
I haven't come across any more info about this yet.
